What are the benefits of biometric technology?
For consumers, biometrics are an effective way to preserve privacy and protect against identity theft. The technologies also offer a convenient alternative to carrying documents, remembering passwords, and entering personal identification numbers. Since individuals can be accurately identified by biometric technology, end users also gain benefits by relieving security personnel, network managers and customer service representatives of the tedious and often intrusive tasks of identity verification and password/PIN administration. Biometrics give companies and governments a simple and cost effective way of getting higher productivity from workers, cutting waste and fraud, and delivering consistent, reliable customer service.
