Jabra is working with public sector organisations to equip staff with professional headsets and plug-and-play devices that are certified for use with Microsoft Teams. This delivers a seamless experience, giving workers the flexibility and ease-of-use they need.” Matthew Clark Head of Public Sector, Jabra Rashesh Mody Senior Vice President, Monitoring and Control Business Unit, AVEVA “Before looking at offering citizen services in the cloud, it’s vital that those in the public sector ensure they have the technology in place to deliver effective real-time ID verification online. An electronic identity verification service that can scale with Microsoft technology works best. Such a tool delivers real-time cross-checks against the contact data provided by the applicant, without negatively impacting the user experience. Implementing document scanning with optical character recognition technology also enables organisations to immediately and accurately determine the authenticity of the ID documents provided online, and the individual presenting them. Combined with biometric facial verification technology, this approach ensures the user journey remains smooth and friction-free, whilst ensuring compliance.” Barley Laing UK Managing Director, Melissa
