Invixium, a manufacturer of innovative touchless biometrics, announced a strategic distribution agreement in which Open Options will be able to offer Invixium biometric solutions to its network of access control customers.

The foundation of this partnership is the integration of Invixium products with DNA Fusion through Invixium’s enterprise software platform, IXM WEB. The integration is possible thanks to IXM Link, which allows automatic synchronization of cardholder data between the two software databases. Synchronization of cardholder data grants Open Options customers streamlined installation, setup and use of Invixium solutions.

DNA Fusion is designed to remove many of the limitations to enterprise deployment inherent in typical access control applications. An open architecture platform, DNA Fusion alleviates these issues by making it more intuitive to manage personnel, set use limits, control access privileges, and more. DNA Fusion also enables stakeholders to monitor several systems, including audio and IP video recording, through a common interface.

“Organizations are aggressively moving toward the idea of the consolidated, secure enterprise to reduce vulnerabilities and ensure safety, and part of this effort is integrating with emerging technologies that can advance security postures,” said Chuck O’Leary, vice president, Americas access control, ACRE. “Open Options integration with Invixium is designed to offer significant value to these entities, allowing them to manage their access control requirements in an integrated fashion that’s easy to manage and is proven to reduce costs.”

In 2020, Invixium pivoted from their core fingerprint technology to focus on touchless biometric solutions aimed at healthy access. Among these solutions is Invixium’s flagship, IXM TITAN, which includes a range of healthy access features such as touchless face recognition with or without a mask, no-mask detection, and add-on contactless temperature screening via the Enhancement Kit. The touchless Invixium solution enables businesses to follow evolving health guidelines throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond without compromising speed, accuracy, or security.

“Our integration with Open Options marks our thirteenth ACM integration,” said Shiraz Kapadia, CEO and president at Invixium. “Extending our ecosystem allows us to offer healthy access to a wider range of businesses. We are proud to partner with organizations with common synergies and shared values such as our mutual commitment to quality and innovation.”

The integration between IXM WEB and DNA Fusion is available for IXM WEB 2.2.65.0 or later and DNA Fusion 8.1.
