Developers have long made use of existing components for
\ncustom development. This approach allows for the implementation of best
\npractices within specialized areas including user authentication, account
\nadministration, reporting, and payment processing among many other specialty
\nprogramming areas.<\/p>\n
The utilization of APIs, and more specifically Web services,
\nis not new but has become increasingly common with the rise of cloud-based
\napplications. By using Web services, programmers are able to incorporate
\nthe capabilities of a third-party application within their custom application
\n(or integrate two third-party applications) in a very efficient manner.<\/p>\n
While most Web services are relatively simple to integrate

\nwith, there can be significant differences in the amount of effort required
\nbased on the number of calls required and the format of the provided
\nresponse. The IdentiFlo
\nManagement Platform<\/a>, for example, provides a full transaction with a single
\ncall and response, making it easy for developers to simply integrate with EVS
\nsolutions in a wide variety of ways.<\/p>\n
\na multitude of possible use cases, including age verification for
\nage-restricted products (i.e. tobacco, alcohol), know-your-customer initiatives
\nfor financial institutions, and fraud prevention for consumer retail (in-store
\nor online). This is just one way that EVS is empowering businesses of all
\nsizes to protect themselves and their customers from identity fraud.<\/p>\n
