M2SYS, a developer of biometric products, has been tapped by RPGSi Business Solutions, a provider of business technology for Latin America, for integrating their Bio-Plugin fingerprint software with their HealthGest health care software. Additionally, the integrated software will be shipped with M2SYS’ M2-S fingerprint readers.
