Agreement aims to consolidate IDEMIA's presence in the national market, expand its business and popularize the use of biometrics in various applications
THE Ingram Micro Brazil signed a distribution agreement with IDEMIA, one of the leading companies in Augmented Identity and specializing in physical and digital identity management solutions through offerings that integrate features such as contactless biometrics and facial recognition. The commercial partnership complements Ingram Micro's Physical Security and IoT unit portfolio, allocated in Advanced Computing, and includes the complete lines of access control solutions and biometric terminals, with emphasis on contactless high-performance biometric identification devices.
“Since the beginning of the pandemic, the search for solutions for identifying and accessing the user without contact with the equipment has grown exponentially and IDEMIA has been standing out, including the results of performance, speed, encryption, versatility and user experience”, said Roberto Gero. , director of the Advanced Solutions area at Ingram Micro Brasil. “Our objective with IDEMIA is to work in high-end projects, which demand performance and robustness. The agreement with the company is enough to further expand our portfolio and the strategy of serving electronic security projects in highly complex environments”.
“Ingram Micro is the ideal partner for the consolidation of IDEMIA in the Brazilian market. The distributor has international penetration and in Brazil, its highly efficient logistics structure, agility in imports, sales force and capillarity, certainly boosted business growth related to IDEMIA's access control solutions in the country. In addition, this partnership will enable IT-focused integrators, who normally did not have access to our products, to access our set of technological solutions”, says Ricardo Miralha, sales manager for Brazil and Cone Sul at IDEMIA.

These and other IDEMIA products are in line with the strictest privacy regulations, such as GDPR and LGPD, and are certified and qualified by international standards, such as the Common Criteria, ISO 15408 and EAL3+ Level.
