RYE BROOK, NY--(Marketwired - Apr 9, 2013) - ImageWare Systems (OTCQB: IWSY)

HP Enterprise Services

Mr. George Romas, Technical Director, Cybersecurity Solutions Group, U.S. Public Sector, HP Enterprise Services, told us, "There's a collision between culture, technology, and security. Solutions over the past decade have centered around collaboration, common infrastructure, and information sharing. As threats and vulnerabilities have become more prevalent, security standards and guidelines were developed and published at a rapid pace, sometimes with the potential for diminished information sharing. Today's solutions must satisfy these security standards while maintaining the collaboration and productivity improvements provided by modern computing platforms. We need to develop innovative solutions that take advantage of the new style of IT, yet provide more comprehensive levels of security and assurance."

ImageWare Systems

ImageWare Systems recently announced that, "In March 2013, ImageWare entered into a contract with Fujitsu under which ImageWare will deploy a cloud-based, multi-modal biometric identity management offering that will be delivered on the Fujitsu Global Cloud Platform (FGCP). ImageWare's CloudID™ product suite, anchored by its patented, multi-modal Biometric Engine® (BE) 2.0, will be offered on the FGCP, which is expected to be one of the world's largest cloud platforms.

As part of the agreement, ImageWare's products will be licensed on a service or transactional basis. The solution is expected to be introduced in North America in the second quarter of 2013, with plans to collaborate on a global expansion model in the near future, and will target large enterprise businesses and emerging applications. The agreement, which is in addition to ImageWare's previously announced three-year software license agreement with Fujitsu's NuVola Private Cloud Platform, is expected to significantly increase revenues while providing greater stability and forward-looking visibility.

"Our goal to establish a leadership position in biometric-based identity management for the cloud is becoming a reality," said Jim Miller, chairman and CEO of ImageWare. "By working with a leading IT innovator such as Fujitsu, ImageWare is able to quickly and efficiently enter the cloud-based arena and gain access to a broader base of clients in the commercial market. The launch of ImageWare's products on the FGCP is a significant step for us and we look forward to a potential worldwide deployment in the near future. Further, by licensing our products on a service or transactional basis, we expect to see a significant improvement in our revenue model and eliminate our historically lumpy sales that have been difficult to predict."

ImageWare also continued to advance the development of its biometric-secured mobile transaction technology, building upon the wireless push technology and related patents it acquired from VOCEL in the second quarter of 2012. In December 2012, the company released the first demonstration models of this mobile technology to key potential corporate users and is currently in licensing discussions with several clients.

Integrating wireless push technology with ImageWare's biometric solutions provides the missing security link facing a growing number of enterprises and government agencies using mobile platforms to transact business or interact with their users. The solution is applicable for healthcare, law enforcement, banking and retail, or any organization requiring highly-reliable and flexible identity verification of their mobile users.

Miller concluded: "Our strategy to diversify ImageWare's revenue stream and decrease our dependency upon larger government projects is beginning to gain traction. Although we will continue to pursue government contracts, our SaaS, mobile and cloud offerings in the commercial and consumer markets will provide us with a more stable, recurring revenue stream and a clearer picture of ImageWare's long-term opportunity."

Mr. Don Erickson
CEO
Security Industry Association
www.SIAonline.org

"SIA and ISC together" is the best way to describe our relationship. In my more than seven years at SIA, I honestly believe the relationship between our two organizations has never been stronger. One simply needs to see the incredible branding of SIA that occurred at ISC East last year, and the ISC team has gone even farther with our branding at ISC West -- I cannot wait to see it next month. This is an excellent partnership that displays excellent collaboration between the ISC Team and SIA for our industry -- most of which are SIA members.

SIA is proud to be the sole industry sponsor of ISC West (www.iscwest.com), which is the most important security event of the year supported by SIA members -- the industry's technology leaders. The networking at ISC West is unparalleled; it's a unique opportunity for 25,000 security professionals to network with representatives from the security manufacturing industry. It's the perfect place to find the products and services you need, with 300,000 square feet of exhibition space and nearly 1,000 exhibitors.

One of the benefits of SIA membership is free registration for ISC East (www.isceast.com) and ISC West, the biggest security conventions in the country. In addition, SIA members exhibiting at ISC West can receive substantial discounts on exhibit space at the show.

ISC West attendees can interact with SIA by stopping by our booth (#3063) on the show floor, and visiting the SIA New Product Showcase (NPS) (www.sianps.com) display, a one-of-a-kind opportunity for vendors to show their customers the latest innovations. Don't miss the NPS awards ceremony on Wednesday, April 10.

SIA members and buyers of security products can join us at PURE nightclub on Tuesday, April 9 at 6:00 p.m. for our annual Customer Appreciation Reception (www.siaonline.org/content.aspx?id=9316). It's a great opportunity to network with industry partners and, more importantly, with end-users of security solutions.

For those who are staying in Las Vegas after the show, SIA's Ride for Education (www.siaonline.org/landing.aspx?id=9492) is being held on Saturday, April 13 at 9:00 a.m. This annual event raises money for educational opportunities for first responders, and registrants can rent either a car or motorcycle to participate in the event. Last year's ride included stops in the Valley of Fire and at Hoover Dam.

Mr. Bill Bozeman, CPP
President and CEO
PSA Security Network
www.psasecurity.com

Bill Bozeman recently sat down with Terry Rivet, Owner of Securitronics (www.Securitronics.com) and Tom Hagen and Tim Ferrian from Pro-Tec (www.Pro-TecDesign.com). Here are some highlights from those interviews and for the complete interviews with Securitronics and Pro-Tec: www.securitystockwatch.com/Interviews/in_Boardroom_PSA.html.

Bill Bozeman: How does PSA benefit you as a problem solver in the security niche?

Terry Rivet: The best thing they do for us is give us access to more than just one solution as a product line. We've been able to sit down and decide for customers that just because we have access to a specific brand of camera, it doesn't necessarily mean that that's the camera that we should be providing. PSA provides us with the relationships and training that we need to make sure our customers are taken care of as they grow and expand.

Bill Bozeman: What one thing would you like to tell a potential client about Securitronics?

Terry Rivet: The one most important thing is that you will enjoy working with our people. They understand and take pride in the fact that we're going to take care of the security industry in that facility and they are proud of it.

Bill Bozeman: Tell us about Pro'Tec's mission, vision and values, and how do they impact your day-to-day activities?

Tim Ferrian: For me specifically as the director of Sales and Marketing we're looking to add to our group all of the time. I tend to look for people that are on the leading edge of technology, it tends to be a little bit of a younger crowd because I've noticed that the landscape of our end users customers is also changing with the introduction of IT technology and how the decisions are being changed from what use to be the security directors making these decisions to more of the IT group. We're finding that we're having more success when the sales group is a little bit younger and is communicating to those younger IT people. The best thing about Pro-Tec stems from our mission, vision and values. Especially our values, which are really just great rules or characteristics that I think everybody should live by, be it your work life or personal life. We talk about those things openly during the recruiting process and let them know that because of those values this is really a place where good people are allowed and encouraged to do good things and build a career, a career that could be 20 and 30 years long.

Bill Bozeman: What is one thing you'd like to say about Pro-Tec design?

Tom Hagen: My message would be this, "A good system architecture provides a roadmap for the portion of the road yet to be built." We think that is really important. We think that anything we design or propose for a customer should have a long view in mind. Anything that we do that adds on to an existing system, we should do it in a way that would maximize the investment they've already made and be a stepping stone towards the end result that they want to get to.
