Judicious selection of biometric devices: Don't go for short term "monetary gain"

In each business, there is innumerable contender to occupy more room within the market. The sole motive of each company is PORIFT. Each company vests their best resources to realize a lot of outcomes. However, in B2B sales, the entire responsibility is on the part of the client, that how judiciously they select the services, which might provide them long term satisfaction.

Now-a-days, biometric systems are spreading their limbs in numerous verticals. Each alternative standard strategy is being replaced with these biometric technologies. However, in terms of short "monetary gain", companies create mistakes relating to the choice of good biometric devices. There are numerous parameters that must be consummated before choosing any system/solutions.

There are several competitors who primarily import the devices and sell it further. Also, biometric attendance devices are obtainable on-line, however, once you get it, no one is there to assist you out with the installations and service/support.

Initially, biometric group action system and devices look to be pretty traditional machinery, however, once looked into it deeply, its operating functionality looks complicated. Thus to handle these complexities, an experienced team is required.

If you erroneously select the incorrect device to realize short-term profit; you're undoubtedly aiming to loose following long run profit:

Service/Support: The devices that are imported and sold at a lower cost, undoubtedly they do not give proper service/support. Also, a number of the companies take the devices with them when there is any discrepancy and after repairing it, they re-install. However, at Star Link, we offer 24x7 on-site/off-site support, as we've got PAN India presence with experienced engineers.

A Possibility of Customization: Once you install the attendance machines, the chance of customization reduces. Suppose, you installed a device that served specific functions, although within a time span, company's policy changes then you're left with no choice except changing the system. However, Star Link offers you to customize your solution/system according to your needs.

Data Centralization: Suppose you operate from different branches across different locations, your data should be centralized into one server. However, a number of biometric device supplier does not provide data centralization.

Multiple shift management: Within the case of multiple shifts, the machines that are imported are incompatible with it. They have fixed set of operation that cannot be modified. However, the devices of Star Link can add multiple shifts and generates completely different reports for various shifts.

Software compatibility: The software compatibility also matters when you are going to install any attendance system. It remains a major concern, whether it will be interfaced with Payroll software, HRMS, ERP or any other software or not. But, Star Link devices are compatible with any software installed in the company.

Also, there are other parameters that must be looked upon before selecting any imported/cheaper devices. Star Link is a leading Indian manufacturer operating within the path of bringing wonderful technology in biometric business.

Government of India: Heading towards “Biometricization” of systems

Biometrics Technologies are searching new ways to spread its limbs in recent technology driven era. Every system within the public domain is proposed to be made transparent, secure and safe in its operation. Looking at these demands, Government of India is trying to implement Biometrics Technology in their system under Digital India program. This initiative from Government is really appreciable and needs an applaud. This will really help to curb corruption, larceny, and truancy. Also, the implementation of biometric technology will help layman gain the services in more effective ways.

We all know biometrics technology is one of the most secure, safe and reliable way of human identification. So, it is quite necessary to implement this technology in every process under Government of India. This will bring a fruitful result in comparison to other conventional methods. Through this blog, I would like to throw some light on a few sectors where Biometrics Technology has been implemented or are proposed to be implemented in the coming days.

Attendance System: As the new Govt took the charge at the center, they firstly implemented Biometric Attendance System in Government offices. Also, they launched an attendance portal www.attendance.gov.in where the attendance of every employee is monitored. Its implementation has really proved fruitful and now they are showing up at offices right in time. As a result, Govt. Officials are found in their workplace.

E-PDS Scheme: Slowly and steadily, every state governments are implementing biometrics technology in the Public Distribution System at different levels. This will show a drastic change in the whole process of ration distribution. The poor people who usually are kept aside from govt. aides now will be directly benefited. The mediators will vanish and e-ration card holder can enjoy their right to the food.

Skill Development: Under the skill development program, the implementation of Biometric technology is really an effective state. Each and every student's attendance is marked in biometric devices with its location and uploaded to the central server. This has reduced larceny and made the process more transparent and effective.

Passport system: Also, the government has proposed to make biometric characteristic a mandatory  verification during passport issue. This step has been taken to reduce the crime and illegal immigration. Effective implementation will lower down, the rate of crimes under different circumstances.

For Criminal Records: National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) has decided to launch a software which will identify the criminals. The implementation of Biometrics will help officials to know whether the criminal had ever been previously prosecuted for any other crime. This will help in the faster procedure of judgments and other trials.

National ID for Fishermen: The major setback of fishermen is their identification. This also leads to prosecutions of fishermen and they are sent behind the bars without any charge. So to resolve this issue, the government has decided to issue National ID cards with biometric for fishermen.

The rapid implementation of Biometrics Technology in different fields is definitely going to solve major common issue every citizen faces into their day-to-day life. Biometrics Technology has a tendency to change the approach of Government officials towards safe, secure and transparent systems. So, Star Link India, being the largest Indian manufacturer of Biometric Attendance Systems, endorses the step of Govt. and promises full support from their side.
