        Business Appreciation Week and National Small Business Week.
        Previous winners include Coopers & Lybrand LLP, Vector
        Research, and User Technology Associates.

WHY ANADAC
WAS CHOSEN: The Arlington County Police Department nominated ANADAC
            for its successful implementation and integration of
            ANADAC's DCTrack(c) and DC Book(c) Software Products into
            their Criminal Justice Information System. The system is
            installed in Arlington County's, Police and Sheriff's
            Department. Both products are members of ANADAC's
            DocuCOLOR(TM) product family, which is an advanced 32-bit
            Windows(TM) application that performs a variety of
            criminal justice information management functions.  The
            system allows officers to quickly and accurately capture,
            store, and search images and their associated demographic
            data.  The DCTrack(c) product is equipped with
            Identix/ANADAC's latest release of an Integrated Facial
            Recognition Module which utilizes state-of-the-art
            identification technology to assist officers in
            identifying suspects or linking crime scene data.

            Captain Mike Hill of Arlington County Police commented
           "It is Arlington County's hope and expectation that the
            digital automation of our mugshot files in conjunction
            with the facial recognition feature will greatly enhance
            our ability to provide our officers and detectives with
            positive leads in solving crimes." The DCTrack product is
            complemented with Identix/ANADAC's DCBadge(c) product
            which provides users with the ability to quickly and
            easily create and generate badges for personnel, visitors,
            contractors, etc. This system combines advanced
            identification technologies including both fingerprint and
            facial verification.

            The delivery of this system marked the first criminal
            justice information system in the United States based on
            facial recognition technology.

            The systems integration of the two biometric
            identification technologies with an automated digital
            mugshot filing system is an example of how advanced
            technology can be used to enhance the performance of local
            government.
