Abstract
This interview introduces how innovative firms are employing interesting new technologies to improve their product line up and better serve customer needs. Facial recognition and biometric identification are opening new avenues for application of IT in personnel administration and other areas. This interview also highlights how European firms need to comply with EU’s strict General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regulation designed to ensure safeguards for data collected by firms from individuals in designing their new IT applications and products. Theo Breuers, CEO of Compo Software, founded the company in 1984. In the first few years, the firm focused on automation. In 2004 he and his team discovered the possibilities of application of IT in personnel registration and administration, and later entered the computer-controlled ticketing and event registration market. He recognized the value of face recognition technologies in proving better service to his customers and integrated them in his firm’s products.
