M2SYS Technology is a company that produces biometric fingerprint identification technology, delivering fingerprint readers and software solutions to integrators, resellers and end users.

History

Incorporated in 2001 as a small software company that developed supply chain software. As the company explored other areas of technology innovation, it later pursued fingerprint biometric research and development after the invention of its flagship solution, Bio-Plugin [ [http://www.m2sys.com/products.htm Fingerprint Software Solutions | Fingerprint Scanners | Fingerprint Readers ] ]

Application developers integrate Bio-Plugin to provide seamless fingerprint recognition for market segments such as law enforcement, education, fitness and leisure, time and attendance, banking, child care, transportation security, and health care. Also, M2SYS claims that their software eliminates the development cycle related to a Fingerprint SDK.

In 2007, the company received the 2007 Biometrics Technology Innovation of the Year Award from Frost & Sullivan [http://www.m2sys.com/frost/Frost_Award.pdf] .

The company claims that, when used in a commercial setting such as the identification of students in a school lunch line, its fingerprint technology is "totally useless" to law enforcement because it does not store a physical copy of the fingerprint image.
