Peter O'Neill, President of findBIOMETRICS states that, "Most of our industry experts referenced Wider and More Diversified Acceptance of Biometrics from Integrators, Governments, OEM's and end users, as the most important area this past year. The theme of moving from theory to deployments echoed throughout the responses to question one. These included mentions of major large scale deployments, growth in mobile applications, the FBI's NGI, the UK's NIS, International growth and especially the growth in Consumer Biometrics."

Integrated biometric solutions for identity management and credentialing have continued to become more important as time goes on. Certainly, that's clear with homeland security, law enforcement, intelligence, and defense applications. 2008 saw great strides in our industry.
