Total ID management

Viisage Technology Inc., Billerica, Mass., launched Viisage Proof 1.0, software that combines facial recognition technology with other methods of identification to help government agencies when they issue credentials or do background checks. In addition to matching facial images, the system can automatically analyze documents, such as driver's licenses; watch lists; and other data sources, the company said.

The software is part of Viisage's new Identity Solutions Suite, which company officials said would grow to encompass other identity management technologies.
