Native American Business and Commerce

IconNicholson is excited to bring our solutions to the wide variety of business ventures that support the future of Indian Country. Among the business areas in which we have experience is the gaming industry.

Gaming
Security is an ongoing concern for casinos throughout Indian Country. The need for specialized security and systems integration grows daily. Given the extensive number of venues, from hotels to retail outlets, for which Tribes are responsible, Systems Integration becomes a cost-efficient solution to the age-old problem of scattered data. Additionally, with increased technology comes increased risk and the need for higher-level security to protect data as well as product. There are several advanced technologies now available for this purpose.

Radio Frequency Identification Technologies (RFID)
The implementation of proven and practical RFID technologies for tracking and validating playing cards, casino chips, hotel and casino guests, deposit pouches and other gaming infrastructure. Security is greatly enhanced when tracking and validation are touch-less, non-invasive and precise. We provide integration of RFID into any and all systems applicable.

Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing
Consolidating and tracking tools to make your customer data, supplier information and system intelligence work more efficiently for you.

System Planning, Implementation and Integration

Security
Our CISSP-certified digital security auditors will provide complete security audits and enhancement schedules for your specific initiatives. Further to this, using cutting-edge implementations of state-of-the-art technologies allows us to help prevent exploits, such as spoofing of many biometric devices with latent legacy residue.
