LogicaCMG Launches Global e-Identity Initiative

LogicaCMG Launches Global e-Identity Initiative

LONDON, September 1/PRNewswire/ -- LogicaCMG today launches a new e-Identity initiative that will provide a
global centre of excellence for the development of solutions for electronic
identification, travel documents, border crossing and public safety
initiatives.

This programme brings together LogicaCMG's expertise in systems
integration, security, identification and tracking technologies, such as
biometrics, smart cards and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). LogicaCMG
has successfully completed e-Identity projects worldwide, such as the
biometric-enabled fast-pass border crossing at Schiphol airport in Amsterdam.
In addition, the company has extensive experience in the provision of smart
card based solutions for financial applications and access control.

A number of factors are leading to a growth in demand for these
technologies and solutions, particularly biometrics. For example, many
countries are planning to deploy national identity cards and e-passport
projects in the near future and there is also a growing realisation that
corporate identity cards to control physical and systems access are
necessary.

Tim Brew, who has been appointed as global e-Identity solutions director
to head up the initiative, said: "There is an increasing amount of
legislation, with more expected, introducing a number of new security
measures, such as biometric data in passports or updating national identity
card schemes. Many national governments are now facing significant challenges
on how to deliver solutions to these issues. With extensive experience gained
over the last five years, LogicaCMG is ideally placed to provide these
complex new technologies as well as the consultancy and guidance to ensure
their success. This new initiative pulls together all the necessary skills
into one global team to enhance the development of our solutions, manage our
strategic third party relationships and assist our local country teams with
all aspects of e-Identity and border control solutions."

Tim Brew has spent more than 20 years in the IT software and financial
services industry, most recently responsible for LogicaCMG's global cards and
consumer payments business. In his new role heading up the e-Identity and
border control initiative, Tim will be responsible for leading the team to
help local country units deliver these global solutions to LogicaCMG's public
and private sector customers across the globe.
