The new product will be a delight for enterprises. It integrates with active directory and to be released databases. It enables cost-effective scalability and allowing users' palm vein templates to be stored on existing servers.

 

In large enterprise environment settings, this single repository is beneficial because users can log into the network from any laptop or PC without bringing their passwords with them, reducing the threat of lost laptops and other security concerns associated with employee travel.
