"Intercede is in a stronger position than a year ago both financially and operationally despite a depressed global economy; and the orders we have received demonstrate that we remain the technology leaders in our sector," claimed Ricard Parris, who is both Chairman and Chief Executive of Intercede.

"We remain committed to investing in the development of market leading technology to meet demand for identity focused services around the world and in the US in particular. As we continue to grow our sales infrastructure and support capability, we are increasingly better placed to exploit this growth potential," Parris added.
