Advantages of Biometrics-as-a-Service Technology in Business

It’s not been so long that the biometric identification was considered only for large-scale projects. But with the introduction of Biometrics-as-a-Service, now small and medium businesses can also utilize the benefits of biometric authentication.

Here are a few more advantages, because of which small and medium enterprises are interested in availing themselves of Biometrics-as-a-Service:

1. Instant Deployment:

Biometrics-as-a-Service can be deployed rapidly, as all you need to do is just connect through a Web API to perform 1: N authentication. It’s a matter of only a few hours to integrate and reduces unnecessary hassles and the expense of developing a whole biometric system.

2. IT Infrastructure & Maintenance:

On-premises biometric systems require specialized IT infrastructures, like servers and networking. This infrastructure is not only expensive but maintenance is also troublesome. Biometrics-as-a-Service doesn’t require any specialized IT infrastructure or maintenance for the deployment of the biometric project.

3. Scalability:

According to the business size, the number of enrollments varies from business to business. If you utilize Biometrics-as-a-Service, you can subscribe exactly for what you need. It’s very simple to scale up or scale down the facilities by simply changing the subscription plan. This advancement of Biometrics-as-a-Service enables enterprises to go for a risk-free deployment of biometric identification.

Finger Vein Biometrics Identification for Membership Management Software

An article published today in the University of Vermont’s campus newspaper The Vermont Cynic reported that the campus recreation center has adopted M2SYS finger vein technology for student member identification. Tim Lewis, associate director for campus recreation made the decision to use finger vein biometrics for member identification after brainstorming ideas on how to eliminate students carrying ID cards. Happy to see our finger vein biometric identification system used at the University of Vermont through a partnership we have with Vermont Systems, a recreation and parks software provider based in Essex Junction, VT. Modern-day membership management software is designed to help create efficiencies that antiquated methods simply can’t provide. In an effort to eliminate ID cards, prevent identity fraud, and create a more convenient user experience, many membership management facilities are evaluating vascular biometrics (finger vein) for identification because of the distinct ...

Iris Recognition vs. Retina Scanning – What are the Differences?

In biometrics, iris and retinal scanning are known as “ocular-based” identification technologies, meaning they rely on unique physiological characteristics of the eye to identify an individual. Even though they both share part of the eye for identification purposes, these biometric modalities are quite different in how they work. Let’s take a closer look at both and then explain the similarities and differences in detail: Retinal Scanning: The human retina is a thin tissue composed of neural cells that are located in the posterior portion of the eye. Because of the complex structure of the capillaries that supply the retina with blood, each person’s retina is unique. The network of blood vessels in the retina is so complex that even identical twins do not share a similar pattern. Although retinal patterns may be altered in cases of diabetes, glaucoma or retinal degenerative disorders, the retina typically remains unchanged from birth until death. (Source: Wikipedia) ...

False Rejection Rate – What Does It Mean And Why Should I Care?

False reject rate is a statistic used to measure biometric performance when operating in the verification task and it usually calculated as the percentage of times the system produces a false reject. A false reject occurs when an individual is not matched to their own existing biometric template. For example: John claims to be John, but the system incorrectly denies the verification. This can be particularly frustrating for an end user who knows that they are enrolled in the system and should be recognized and verified, but for some reason the system is incorrectly rejecting their scan. This can cause unnecessary logjams, affect service, frustrate staff and negatively impact productivity.
