Seamfix Set To Unveil Identity Management Solution ‘BioRegistra’
By peter oluka
Seamfix, Nigeria’s leading provider of identity management solutions, has announced plans to unveil an innovative data management solution to the Nigerian market.
The solution, named Bioregistra is a state of the art KYC (Know Your Customer) as a service online platform developed primarily for individuals and corporates (business owners) with the aim of ensuring they are able to capture data, store the data, and have access to the data at any time, as they may desire.
The solution allows a fully automated process that ensures seamless execution of all KYC business processes, thus enabling faster customer on-boarding and increasing customer satisfaction.
Commenting on the solution ahead of the launch, Chimezie Emewulu, managing director of Seamfix described Bioregistra as a game changer in data capture and management.
According to him ‘With BioRegistra, the difficulty associated with knowing and identifying your customers is a thing of the past. The Platform enables you to capture and store your customer KYC details or information and further allows you access and to view the captured information or data whenever required. Your customer in this context is not limited to any sector.
Emewulu further highlighted some of the benefits of Bioregistra and the competitive advantage. According to him, BioRegistra system has an intelligent quarantine engine designed to detect fraudulent and fictitious records and prevents them from being processed by running the records through security and inbuilt validation checks.
He further stated that the solution helps to save cost for users. “BioRegistra is a huge cost saver for individuals and companies. It rides on a pay-as-you-capture scheme which drastically cuts cost as it is more economical to leverage on the online platform rather than purchasing custom and bespoke enterprise applications which are way more expensive. A customer only pays for what has been captured or enrolled”, the MD explained.
Chibuzor Onwurah, executive director, Seamfix said Bioregistra is unique because it was an innovation by Nigerians to solve a global data management challenge.
“Bioregistra is a proprietary solution by Seamfix, a Nigerian company. Bioregistra reflects the creative and innovative spirit of Nigerians. It mirrors our belief that technology should help solve basic human problems. This is exactly what this solution does in helping individuals, organisations, governments among others to capture, store and manage data for improved efficiency”, he said.

Gartner predicts that by 2028, 75 percent of enterprise software engineers will use Artificial Intelligence (AI) code assistants, up from less than 10 percent, currently.
According to a Gartner poll of 598 global respondents conducted in the third quarter of 2023, 63 percent of organisations are now testing, deploying, or have previously implemented AI code assistants.
AI code assistants provide for more capabilities than only code development and completion, notes the research firm.
According to Gartner, the use of AI code assistants can lead to higher work satisfaction and retention, resulting in lower turnover costs.
Philip Walsh, senior principal analyst at Gartner, comments: “Software engineering leaders must determine ROI and build a business case as they scale their rollouts of AI code assistants.
“However, traditional ROI frameworks steer engineering leaders toward metrics centred on cost reduction. This narrow perspective fails to capture the full value of AI code assistants.”
Gartner notes that software engineering leaders must “reframe the ROI conversation from cost reduction to value generations”.
Walsh adds: “Calculating time savings on code generation is a good place to begin building a more robust value story. To convey the full enterprise value story for AI code assistants, software engineering leaders should connect value enablers to impacts, and then analyse the overall return to the organisation.”
