WALL, N.J. and OWERRI, Nigeria, Nov. 04, 2019 — BIO-key International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKYI), an innovative provider of biometric authentication and security solutions, today announced that the company has added Technology Transfer Institute of Africa (TTI) as a Channel Alliance Partner (CAP). The CAP program is designed for Managed Service Providers (MSP’s), Security Integrators, and value-added resellers (VAR’s) who specialize in providing security solutions to their customers.
The CAP program, announced in September, enables partners to represent BIO-key’s complete line of biometric authentication solutions from our large scale identity management products to BIO-key’s ID Director for Windows which operates with Microsoft Active Directory to deliver biometric Single Sign-on (SSO) or Multi-factor authentication (MFA) across the organization. The suite of partner solutions also includes ID Director for SAML (biometric authentication into SAML enabled apps) and BIO-key’s complete line of compact fingerprint scanners that have been tested and qualified by Microsoft to support Windows Hello and Windows 10.
Emmanuel Alia CEO of Technology Transfer Institute of Africa stated, “We are very excited to become a BIO-key Channel Alliance Partner. On August 29, 2019, The Government of Imo State in Nigeria signed a Memorandum of Understanding on the establishment of Technology Transfer Institute of Africa (TTIA) in Owerri, its capital city. The MOU establishes a private public partnership in which TTIA can introduce to the Imo State government, other African states and countries innovative technologies such as BIO-key’s Civil ID and Multi-Factor Authentication Solutions. Due to the very high demand for biometric and identity solutions in Nigeria and throughout Africa, we sought out to partner with a company with a wide range of biometric solutions that could be implemented immediately. As an example of the demand, less than a week after signing our MOU the World Bank approved $433m (USD) for a Nigerian biometric national ID registration program.”
Fred Corsentino, BIO-key’s Chief Revenue Officer said, “We are pleased to add TTI to our CAP program, given their expertise in the African market where demand for biometric security is significant. This partnership extends BIO-key’s sales reach within this extensive market, particularly as the need for convenient, reliable and scalable civil ID and multi-factor security grows”.
