November 2012
News

The IEEE CBP sets the standard of knowledge in the biometrics industry. Jacobs says the certification has given him a competitive edge in the industry as it teaches relevant, practical content developed by world-class biometrics experts and practitioners. “It has given me the knowledge and skills necessary to apply this new body of knowledge to real-world problems and situations.”
The IEEE CBP programme is web-based covering topics like biometric system design and evaluation, modalities and standards. Bytes Systems Integration encouraged Jacobs to achieve certification as the programme is internationally recognised. “Having a CBP on board will enhance our implementation of biometrics-enabled systems, which is in line with the company’s goal to become a top biometrics solutions developer,” says Derek Zellie, biometrics business unit manager at Bytes Systems Integration. “The CPB is the most highly recognised certification in the market globally and it is a designation that provides an important differentiator when it comes to our clients’ needs for biometrics solutions. It has given Barry an in-depth understanding of how biometrics work, how the technology can be applied at business level, and which devices and technologies are superior to others.”
