Biometrics as an access security measure offers several advantages over other types of access security systems such as swipe cards, pin numbers or manual book entries.

For one, biometrics in the form of Sagem fingerprint technology is user friendly and not invasive at all. Unlike iris scanning and DNA printing, which are both perceived as invasion of private space, fingerprint technology has been accepted by most people. DVD shops, health care centres, educational facilities, and companies all utilize fingerprint technology to improve security.

The benefit of fingerprint technology access security solutions over for instance, swipe cards or passwords is that it cannot be replaced by a false identification method. There isn’t a password that can be lost or stolen and whereas someone can borrow a swipe card, you cannot borrow another person’s finger.

The high level of accuracy embedded in the fingerprint technology is another reason for its popularity. With a system that makes use of a specific algorithm for identification and verification, the chances of incorrect readings are significantly reduced.

It is an affordable and highly secure solution. In addition it is also mobile making it possible to have hand-held scanners. Fingerprint technology furthermore offers the advantage of quick access. Manual book entries are flawed and take up a lot of time. Fraud is possible and many mistakes are made. This is not the case with fingerprint technology.

Another important benefit is that of being able to incorporate fingerprint technology with a time and attendance system to help streamline the payroll process. The time that the employees enter and exit specific areas will thus be directly recorded in the time and attendance system connected to the payroll. This eliminates the need for monthly forms and thus saves time with payroll processing.
