These improvements speed up the process of registering new platform users – this is one of the key aspects of the TalentAlpha strategy.

Identt to Switzerland and Germany company, which is leading identity verification company for the banking sector. It supports the identity verification process, compares the image of people and ensures information security.

It allows you to verify people based on a photo of their faces. It is resistant (not very sensitive) to changes in the appearance of people (e.g. hairstyle modification, growing a beard, or wearing glasses) and changes resulting from aging.

As CTO Proxi.Cloud, Paweł Prociów says: ‘Stermedia developers helped us to save the project which at the time was very questionable. Nowadays we can develop our product and build our own team. It is important to us that their developers are elastic, have a quick reaction time, proactiveness and build technical trust.’ Here’s what also Paweł says about our cooperation:
