Bytes Technology Group has become a Lumidigm partner, following its acquisition of Brand New Technology (BNT), which had a broad range of exclusive distribution agreements in place focused on delivering identification management solutions.
The acquisition has seen Bytes Technology Group become the exclusive distributor in Africa and the Middle East for global authentication solutions company, Lumidigm.
Lumidigm is already in use at five of the top six banks in South Africa, and in a number of other industries. As a result of the number of fraudulent transactions taking place in Africa, Perkins says, the market is demanding assurance of identity when transacting with customers. This affects financial services, retail, telecommunications, hospitality, government and any organisation that interacts with a customer who has to provide an identity credential – such as a credit, store or loyalty card – during the transaction process.
