The 7th International Symposium on Fingerprints brought together law enforcement and identification experts from around the world to share information and the latest updates relating to biometric data. The theme of the event was: ‘Fingerprints and Interoperability’. The leading AFIS vendors, such as Morpho, Cross Match, Foster & Freeman, Cogent, NEC, PAPILLON, Horiba and others, were invited to present their latest developments in the AFIS technology. PAPILLON ZAO was represented by Ivan Shapshal, the Deputy General Manager, and Alexey Podchinyonov, a senior engineer of the marketing department.
