Merkatum Corporation (www.merkatum.com) develops biometric and biographic identity resolution systems that effectively determine, interpret, and manage the identity of individuals in order to deter identity fraud and safety/security risks. Merkatum’s core product, its patent-pending "emfiva F/FRS®" biometric resolution and identity management system, searches and compares the identity of individuals in databases and on the field by utilizing fingerprint, facial, and/or biographic recognition algorithms leveraged by an open, scalable, and business process driven, Service-Oriented Architecture.

The Company’s objective is to develop and market modular, “out-of-the-box” systems that are easy to install-deploy-maintain at a lower total cost of ownership by pre-configuring and deploying emfiva F/FRS® servers for determined vertical market segments. Merkatum also develops and markets identity enrollment kits (“Eagle Kit”) comprised of integrated biometric capture devices (fingerprint, facial, iris, signature) and data encoders (barcode, document scanners) contained in ruggedized briefcases for military, public safety, and civil identification applications.
