Built to an open systems design, MetaMorpho™ uses distributed objects and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software components to provide flexibility for future growth and expansion. A complete forensic information system can be achieved with coherent and seamless integration of existing or custom-made applications such as Mugshot or Criminal Record management systems.

The ability to process more cases with a highly automated workflow combined with improved AFIS accuracy, results in a dramatically increased number of identifications. The incorporation of a range of fully automated features in MetaMorpho™ allows fingerprint experts to concentrate their efforts on high value tasks such as quality control and validation. Complete automation of tenprint search preparation offers customers the option of decentralizing tenprint from input to regional centres and/or remote sites.

MetaMorpho™ conforms to FBI and INTERPOL implementations of the ANSI/NIST standard for the exchange of fingerprint information. This standard governs the connection of AFIS peripherals such as Card Scan or Live Scan Booking Stations, and all communication between AFIS on a local, national or international basis.
