How IB Systems Helps Clients Transition from Legacy Systems to Modern Biometric Solutions

How IB Systems Helps Clients Transition from Legacy Systems to Modern Biometric Solutions

Outdated biometric systems can create more problems than they solve—slow performance, limited support, security risks, and compatibility issues. Whether you’re running an old fingerprint scanner, unsupported software, or disconnected tools, it’s time to modernize.

At IB Systems, we specialize in helping agencies, businesses, and government clients transition from legacy biometric systems to modern, secure, and fully integrated fingerprinting solutions—without disrupting your operations.

Why Transition from Legacy Fingerprinting Systems?

If you’re still using outdated biometric equipment or enrollment software, you may be experiencing:

  • Slow or unreliable fingerprint capture
  • Frequent image rejections or poor match rates
  • Incompatibility with CJIS or AFIS databases
  • Limited vendor support or no software updates
  • Difficulty integrating with new platforms or compliance systems

Upgrading your fingerprinting setup ensures you meet modern compliance standards and improve both efficiency and accuracy.

IB Systems Makes the Transition Simple

Our team has helped hundreds of clients—from law enforcement agencies to private sector HR departments—move from outdated systems to new, high-performance biometric solutions.

Here’s how we do it:

1. System Assessment and Workflow Audit

We start by evaluating your current system:

  • Hardware and software inventory
  • Compatibility and compliance checks
  • Pain points in your workflow
  • Desired improvements and future needs

This allows us to recommend the best hardware, software, and integration pathway tailored to your environment.

2. Hardware and Software Upgrade Planning

Based on your assessment, we deliver a clear plan that includes:

  • FBI-certified fingerprint scanners
  • CJIS- and NIST-compliant enrollment software
  • Modular integration with your existing platforms (AFIS, HR, licensing systems)
  • On-premise or cloud deployment options

We help you phase out outdated components and seamlessly introduce new ones, avoiding any workflow disruption.

3. Data Migration & System Integration

We ensure your legacy data is handled securely and accurately:

  • Transfer of existing fingerprint and ID data
  • Conversion into NIST-compliant formats (EFT/EFTS)
  • API integrations with local, state, or federal databases
  • Secure, encrypted data transmission protocols

Whether you’re moving from desktop to cloud or replacing an old proprietary system, our middleware tools bridge the gap.

4. Staff Training and Support

Even the best system won’t succeed without proper training. We provide:

  • Step-by-step onboarding and training for your team
  • User manuals, cheat sheets, and video tutorials
  • Direct support via phone, email, and remote sessions
  • Troubleshooting and optimization after deployment

We ensure your team is confident, capable, and productive from day one.

5. Compliance-Ready from Day One

Our fingerprinting solutions are designed with:

  • FBI Appendix F certification
  • NIST IQS image formatting
  • CJIS data security and access control policies
  • Logging, audit trails, and encryption built in

You don’t have to worry about catching up on standards—we bake compliance in.
