– FEATURES

Key features and benefits of NEC ID

Powered by NEC’s NeoFace facial recognition software, which is independently recognised as the global market leader according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) – exceeding all vendors in both accuracy and speed, NEC ID provides best of breed technology.

Here are some of the key features and benefits NEC ID:

Cloud-based
Cloud-based (as opposed to device-based) biometric systems allow consumers to enrol multiple biometrics from a single device, and offer dynamic, universal, cross-channel access to digital services across applications and devices.

Cost-effective
Consumption-based pricing means you only pay for what you use no significant upfront licence and implementation costs. Customers do not need to invest in building and hosting their own biometrics engine and domain capability.

Scalable
NEC ID can scale to manage millions of identities and performs to meet very high throughput demands.

Easy to implement
Easy access to APIs that allows customers to easily integrate into their legacy systems. This allows a customer to innovate with biometrics in a time and cost-effective manner.

Easy to manage
Biometrics authentication replaces passwords, tokens, passes etc. – these can be costly, arduous, and easily forgotten, lost, stolen, or hacked.

Secure and private
Biometrics is much safer and more secure than traditional authentication methods. You cannot steal, forget or have stolen your face, voice or fingerprint and hacking is difficult as biometrics hashed templates are created – NEC doesn’t actually store the customer’s image at all.

Enhance your customer experience today

Biometrics is shaping the customer experience through laser-like personalisation. Unwieldy authentication measures once carried out by retail employees now happen instantly via powerful facial recognition technology, smoothing out and speeding up the customer journey.

NEC ID is the pinnacle of customer experience applications. Built on NEC’s renowned ‘NeoFace’ facial recognition technology, it is flexible and fully cloud-based so will seamlessly connect across multiple channels including kiosks, tablets and interactive displays.

With NEC ID, every customer is a VIP.
