Enterprises must remember the problem they’re trying to solve and stay focused on it. If strong authentication is the business or security driver, then biometrics is a good solution. But other forms of two-factor authentication need to be CONSIDERED. If the problem is IMPLEMENTING a corporate-wide user permission control system, then biometrics is a good solution for the strong authentication PART of the problem.

But authorization and accountability must be solved; indeed, these two issues should be targeted FIRST before biometrics is undertaken. Enterprises must also consider WHETHER their online platforms are biometric-enabled.
