MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, February 20 /PRNewswire/ --

- Higher Accuracy Through Biographic and Biometric Fusion

Based on its recent analysis of the biometrics market, Frost &
Sullivan recognizes WCC Services US, Inc. (WCC) with the 2009 North American
Frost & Sullivan Emerging Multimodal Platform of the Year Award for
responsiveness to customers' requirements in developing the first and most
unique combination of biometrics and fuzzy logic matching algorithms. WCC's
ELISE ID delivers identity matches by using multimodal fusion across
biometric, biographic, and contextual data - video capture, unique traits or
features, criminal or travel history, PIN, barcode, or RFID data - which
helps end-users to achieve a much higher degree of accuracy and reliability
in identifying individuals than was previously possible.

Unlike traditional matching systems, WCC's high-performance
matching system is based on rule-based, pattern matching, and fuzzy logic
techniques and provides users with the most accurate information, efficiently
and conveniently. Traditional Boolean search techniques only consider the
black/white or true/false approach while Elise ID follows a more granular
methodology. It uses advanced technologies to calculate similarities and
reports shades of grey to rank results by the aggregated match scores from
each criterion. Its uniqueness lies in its capability to offer extremely
fast, scalable, secure, and a multi-vendor compatible platform for different
multimodal fusion algorithms.

"ELISE ID's standard-based platform allows multiple
third-party biometric, text searching algorithms, and other data formats such
as video to be integrated easily and cost-effectively," says Frost & Sullivan
Research Analyst Neelima Sagar. "This advanced technology not only promises
highest accuracy and reliability, but also provides high-speed matching for
different applications including border management, criminal investigations,
watch lists, trusted travelers, cargo manifests, and employee security."

The key differentiating factor of WCC's solution is its
ability to perform a multimodal search over the combined data, easily
integrating that facilitate . . biometric algorithms from all the vendors in
the market. The open-framework system accommodates technology evolution,
upgrades, and standardization, increasing the system lifecycle.

"Even as its scalability helps in handling billion of records
at ultra-high speeds, its flexibility allows different organizations to
maintain and control their own data, while performing a unified search
result," notes Neelima Sagar.

WCC also provides value-added services such as technical
support, training, and consulting services to its customers throughout the
world, which complement the efficiency of its product. The company has
exhibited exceptional client-focus and a pro-active approach toward customer
satisfaction and retention. It serves both government and enterprise
customers, and its business process is well-adapted to the customer
requirements, irrespective of their size. Clients testify that the highly
skilled technicians focus on quality of the solution, resulting in

In recognition of its revolutionary multimodal platform and
its strong commitment to customer service, Frost & Sullivan is proud to
present WCC with the 2009 Frost & Sullivan Emerging Multimodal Platform of
the Year Award in the North American biometrics market.
