AMAG Technology, the provider of the Symmetry security management solution, has formalized Suprema as its strategic partner for biometric readers. This announcement builds on a long-standing collaboration but signals a deeper technical integration and a formal aligning of product roadmaps between the two companies.
The partnership ensures that Suprema’s market-leading line of biometric readers will operate seamlessly with AMAG’s Symmetry system, including the award-winning Symmetry Access Control V10. The stated goal is to provide enterprise customers with a single, reliable, and globally supported solution for high-security access control and identity verification.
The move is a classic “best-of-breed” platform strategy. AMAG, which develops its own open software platform, is choosing not to compete in the specialized, R&D-intensive biometric hardware market. Instead, by formally partnering with a recognized hardware leader like Suprema, AMAG can offer its customers a best-in-class, multi-factor authentication solution. This reinforces Symmetry’s value proposition as a flexible, open-platform solution that integrates with top-tier technology.
