This allows biometric systems to be flexible and interact with a plurality of vendors' technologies. Specifically, a biometric sample is captured from a sensor and transmitted to a processing component. The biometric sample is then processed by a first algorithm to yield a biometric template and the template is stored and associated with a record identifier. The biometric sample is also processed by a second algorithm to yield a second template. The second template is stored and associated with the record identifier. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A biometric information processing system for identifying or verifying a subject, the system comprising: a scanning device for capturing a first biometric sample of a subject; a transmitting component for transmitting the first biometric sample from the scanning device to a processing component; a

biometric sample by a second vendor's template generation algorithm to yield a second reference template; a storage component for storing the plurality of reference templates in association with a record identifier identifying the subject. a second scanning device for receiving a second biometric sample from the subject; a transmitting component for transmitting the second biometric sample from the second scanning device to a processing component; a processing component for processing the second biometric sample by the first vendor's template generation algorithm or the second vendor's template generation algorithm to generate a match template; and a processing component for performing a comparison between the match template and the reference template to determine a degree of
