other digital credentials. Edefice SP uses a highly scaleable architecture
capable of supporting large numbers of users in single or multi-enterprise
situations.

completed within twelve months.

Intercede Chief Executive, Richard Parris said:

"We are delighted that such a major industry player has chosen to purchase
edefice SP. This further validates edefice as a platform for all aspects of
identity management including high volume service provider environments. Edefice
SP is a logical extension of our edefice family of products and demonstrates the
flexibility of our approach and our patent-pending technology."
