Edentify Delivers Solutions to More Than 4,000 Services Customers
Edentify Inc., a provider of identity management and fraud detection solutions, recently announced its partnership with General Information Services Inc. (GIS), one of the largest human resources solution providers in the country. Edentify will bundle its suite of identity fraud prevention solutions -- including IDAssess, IDScreen and IDAlert -- with GIS’s portfolio of employment screening services, giving its clients broader employee screening capabilities. Edentify now has the opportunity to deliver its technology to GIS’s nationwide customer base of more than 4,000 major corporations. This customer base includes financial institutions, retail stores, insurance companies and many Fortune 500 companies. Likewise, GIS customers will have access to a robust identity fraud detection solution to conduct better background checks on current and prospective employees.
“We are very pleased to enter into this milestone relationship with such a respected partner. This potentially lucrative opportunity further validates the value of our solutions in various lines of business where identity credentialing is seen as a vulnerability,” said Terrence DeFranco, CEO of Edentify. “It’s not every day we secure the opportunity to bring our identity fraud prevention solution to some of the largest corporations in the United States. This partnership gives us access and exposure to new markets to fuel continued growth and provides GIS an essential component to enhance their employment screening services.”
GIS offers its customers pre-employment screening, security and loss-prevention services, and a complete suite of hiring management systems and products. Now, it will add Edentify’s technology to its offering. With IDAssess, GIS customers can review and verify the identity of thousands of employees in up to two days. Edentify’s IDScreen solution helps GIS customers examine the identity of their employees in real time, which prevents potentially fraudulent activity by verifying that the employee’s identity matches the person using it.
The last component, IDAlert, notifies GIS employees when their identity has been breached and monitors their identity every 30 days until fraudulent activity is detected. GIS clients can offer the IDAlert solution to their employees as a company benefit.
“Edentify’s cutting-edge technology enhances our identity fraud offerings and differentiates us from our competition,” said Raymond Conrad, CEO of GIS Inc. “Combining Edentify’s solution with our own background screening solutions gives us the tools to attract and close new business. We can now offer our clients a much broader background screening capability that will help them dig deeper into individuals’ backgrounds and ensure they haven’t manipulated someone else’s identity to gain employment.”
