FEBRUARY 19--Viisage Technology Inc. (Littleton, MA; www.viisage.com) has been chosen to fulfill the new digital driver's license contract by the state of Oklahoma's Department of Public Safety. The contract will include the design, development, and implementation of the statewide secure license production program. The total value of this new multiyear contract is approximately $12 million.
