London, Munich, November 23rd 2006: Electronic passports (ePassport), biometric visas, payments via fingerprints - almost every day - we hear this kind of news through our news agencies. As a result biometrics, the technology to identify personal characteristics, has come out of its shadowy existence in criminal investigations and become more and more part of our daily lives.
Many companies are now thinking of taking advantage of this new technology for internal security purposes. But which biometrics is appropriate for computer access, time recording or security control? It is a difficult choice to make as processes and offered products are constantly increasing in volume.
Biometric & ID Consulting, Steinbeis Transfer Center for Identification Solutions and IDMC Biometrics Academy have agreed to work together and offer various training courses in Central Europe. The aim is to inform the companies and their employees correctly and extensively about different applications of biometrics.
"It is the first time in Germany and other parts of Europe that one can find courses that are independent of suppliers and where expert knowledge is offered to everybody and we are pleased to have IDMC Biometrics Academy working with us on this", states Marcus Klische from Biometric & ID Consulting. Dr. Dietmar Fischer, Director of Steinbeis Transfer Centre for Biometrics and Identification Solutions adds: "The courses can also be offered as company-internal workshops, especially for the management, safety officers and employee representatives and Dr Aziz Shaikh is highly experienced in doing this." Dr Aziz Shaikh, Director of IDMC Biometric Academy, summarizes: "We are very happy that we have Mr Klische and Dr Fischer working with us.
