Morpho Service Center facility opened in Australia
January 2012 by Marc Jacob
Morpho (Safran group) announced that it has opened its new Morpho Service Center in Canberra, Australia. The center was opened by Doug Smith, Chief Executive Officer, CrimTrac, and by His Excellency the French Ambassador to Australia, Stéphane Romatet, and attended by His Excellency the High Commissioner of New Zealand, Martyn Dunne.
This center is designed to underpin the new managed services approach that Morpho is delivering to Australia. In particular it is one of the key pillars of the recently signed support agreement with CrimTrac to provide managed services for Australia’s national fingerprint system.
Initially the facility will be used to support the NAFIS (National Automated Fingerprint Identification System) in Canberra where Morpho is providing an ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library)* aligned 24x7 service capability across the full NAFIS system and covers the provision of nationwide workstation support, test systems and training for CrimTrac staff.
This facility will also be a key part of Morpho’s approach to delivering secure services for Australian Customs and Border Protection Service (Smartgate), Australian Federal Police and other key agencies.
*CrimTrac: The national information-sharing service for Australia’s police, law enforcement and national security agencies.
