Visiphor and Austin Biometrics Awarded a New Contract Totaling $394,500

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan 15 (MARKET WIRE) --
Visiphor Corporation ("Visiphor") (OTCBB: VISRF) (TSX-V: VIS) (XETRA:
IGYA), announces that its core data integration and facial recognition software
products are to be implemented in a state-wide law enforcement integration
project in the United States. The total contract, awarded via Visiphor's
partner Austin Biometrics LLC, is valued at $394,500 USD. The contract value
to Visiphor is in excess of $355,000 USD and is predominantly product
license fees.

Visiphor will be responsible for all product implementation and associated
services
related to the project. The total solution will include three components: 1)
Visiphor's proprietary facial recognition software, 2) InForce IQ, a
web-based 'federated query' application, and 3) Visiphor's data sharing product,
BIE. Upon project completion, the client will be able to query multiple
databases using facial imagery and/or text-based identifiers to locate subject
information. Ultimately, the new system will improve operational efficiency by
providing users with rapid, web-based access to critical information from
disparate
information sources.

"This win is significant to us for a couple of reasons," stated Visiphor's
CEO Roy
Trivett. "One, it's a great start for our new business relationship with Austin
Biometrics, a U.S.-based provider of integrated security solutions, and two, it
validates the power of combining our traditional biometric technology with our
advanced data sharing capabilities. We are confident that this initiative
will lead to many more product-centric contracts in the upcoming year."

Oliver "Buck" Revell, Chairman of Visiphor and the former Associate Deputy
Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, stated, "I am extremely pleased
with the acquisition of our technology in this award. Visiphor was founded to
provide information technology to law enforcement and we have continued our
emphasis on providing the most advanced capabilities to the law enforcement
community with these products. Fusion Centers and Multi-Agency Task Forces
are the ideal users of our technology, and this award furthers these
applications."

The proposed rollout of the solution will occur over the next three
months,and is expected to go live in Q2 2008.
