State-of-the-Art Data Management


The new ABIS® enhances any identity management application and puts agencies into the ideal situation to deploy a flexible, scalable, modular and powerful system in order to meet their highest needs.


Implementing large-scale government-sponsored civilian identification programs is a highly complex project. Selecting the right technology partner and a solution with the flexibility to scale based on future growth requirements are of key importance. The ABIS® System combines L-1’s dedicated top-rated multi-modal algorithms to ensure one identity per person, regardless of the biometric required – fingerprint, face or iris.

ABIS® is a highly modular system including:

  • ABIS® Search Engine
    The ABIS® Search Engine is a multi-biometric identification platform that may be used as stand-alone or with other ABIS® 7 System products as ID management solutions suite – offering high quality face recognition, fingerprint and iris biometrics that have performed in the top tier of invigilated government benchmarks.
  • ABIS® Identity Manager
    The ABIS® Identity Manager provides identity record-keeping services. All known individuals and their history of identity applications are recorded in this registry (“encounter”) – including the biometric samples taken at that time, demographic data, and images of any identity documents submitted with the application as proof of identity.
  • ABIS® Workflow Manager
    The ABIS® Workflow Manager automates all involved business processes, based on industry standards as well as on major customer requirements. For the first time, it runs on the jBPM engine, supported by jBoss (subsidiary of Red Hat). All Business Process Definitions (Workflow Definitions) can be displayed and easily modified by means of graphic editors.
