The Biometric Digest newsletter announced a major update of its biometric directory. Demo available with 1-click log-on.
SAINT LOUIS, MO (PRWEB) March 30, 2005 -- The Biometric Digest newsletter announced a major update of its biometric directory. The update added more than 60 new vendors and organizations providing a range of biometric identification products and services. The Biometric Information Directory (BID) now includes profiles on more than 590 biometric suppliers plus a free demonstration at their web site.
Biometric identification technology identifies individuals based on their fingerprint, iris, facial scan, voice, signature, hand print and other personal characteristics. More companies and organizations ranging from large corporations to the smallest employers and from grade schools to universities are installing biometric systems.
There has been a marked increase in biometric ID activity with terrorist attacks continuing world wide. Industries include automotive and airlines; banks, credit unions and other financial institutions; medical facilities; educational institutions; government agencies; security companies; credit card companies, technology firms and others.
Equally important has been the need to improve customer service to secure and protect customers financial transactions. Biometrics speeds up the service customers demand these days. There is no need to provide paper or plastic identification which can be easily duplicated or stolen.
Another key area is safety - particularly in the travel industries. Airlines, cruise ships and even some bus companies are embracing the technology.
In addition to profiles of suppliers, the Biometric Directory includes:
- A 22-page non-technical overview of biometric identification technology
- A 6-page product showcase featuring photos of biometric hardware
- A listing of 35 conferences and expositions worldwide where biometric technology is a major portion of the conference program

Publisher, Bill Rogers, said, Its written in a laymans language and covers the entire spectrum of biometric identification technology. Its literally a ‘Biometric Bible for the industry. If you want to know anything about biometrics, theres a good chance its in this directory."
The service is currently available on-line on a subscription bases based at less than $25 per month paid on an annual basis. Thats less than eighty-one cents a day, a price anyone can readily afford if theyre serious about security and positive identification," said Bill Rogers. We will soon offer the directory on a CD which will provide the same information. The only difference is the on-line system is updated daily whereas the CD will gradually become outdated."
A preview of the directory is available by going to the BID web site at: http://www.biometricinfodirectory.com. Rogers said, You can log on to the demo just by clicking on SIGN IN. Its that simple.
