| The Need to Replace Manual
Membership Management Running an efficient and secure membership-based
organization like a church, synagogue, or mosque is nearly
impossible without the use of advanced technology. Pen and
paper membership management techniques have become entirely
too cumbersome and inefficient. On top of that, the possibility
of security breaches has left membership-based organizations
searching for a safe and effective method to handle the
management of sensitive member information.
Biometric technology has recently proven to be the most
effective and affordable solution for the safe and orderly
management of member information. Faith-based organizations
are quickly becoming aware of the value of fingerprint recognition.
A fingerprint system such as M2SYS' Bio-SnapON™
can easily interface into your existing management
software, providing instant fingerprint
scanning capabilities, eliminating the need for passwords,
barcode readers, and identification cards.
The Benefits of Biometrics
With BioSnapON™,
church staff can easily:
- Identify members at check-in, instantly retrieving their picture and information from the management software.
- Protect the safety of children by accurately identifying guardians.
- Ensure that individuals are not fraudulently accessing church facilities.
- Completely replace ID cards, which eradicates costs incurred due to lost or stolen cards.

faith-based organization. To learn more about how you can

Without Bio-SnapON (the Manual Process)The host application (such as time and attendance software) uses some kind of manual input mechanism with a unique credential to
identify the user. In this case, the input mechanism is a user name and password. This mechanism could also be something like a
barcode/magstripe ID card or PIN. This process is not only
inefficient, but also carries the risk that the credential could
be easily lost or stolen.
With Bio-SnapON (Using Fingerprint ID)
To replace the manual input mechanism with fingerprint identification:
1. Install Bio-SnapON and have the user scan his/her
fingerprint 3 times consecutively. The user's unique credential
will be stored with the fingerprint template.
2. After the user has been
enrolled, he/she simply scans a single fingerprint to be
identified.
3. After a user's fingerprint is scanned, the Bio-SnapON engine matches the
print and sends the associated credential to the host software. The host software then performs the appropriate action, such as
clocking the user in or out.

Pop-Up Notification Window
Administrators have the option of showing a pop-up window above
the system tray after each fingerprint scan. If this
option is enabled, a message will appear indicating whether or
not the user was successfully identified.
Visual Feedback Mechanism
When new users are enrolled into the system, a dialog box shows
the actual fingerprint image. An image quality scale also
provides feedback to ensure that high quality data is being fed
into the fingerprint software. The visual feedback
mechanism can also be displayed during subsequent fingerprint
identification attempts, or it can be kept hidden.
Comprehensive Administrative Console
Administrators can configure the Bio-SnapON system settings
through an intuitive console. Bio-SnapON offers a
full-featured set of administrative controls allowing for
capabilities such as: LAN/WAN configuration, multi-scan
enrollment/identification, choice of three interface protocols,
identification log, advanced keyboard settings, appearance
customization, and security.
Multi-Application Communication (SSO
Lite)
Unlike competing products, Bio-SnapON allows you to store
multiple ID credentials and application configurations
under a single fingerprint template and user account. This
means that users can enroll different passwords, PINs, etc.
under a single fingerprint, but associate them to individual
applications.

Fingerprint biometrics is being used in a wide variety of industries for many different purposes. Here are a few examples:
| POS: |
Control payroll accuracy and transaction overrides by requiring employees to login with a fingerprint scan. |
| Schools: |
Interface with lunch line POS, library, and SIS software to create efficiencies , increase revenue, and protect student interests. |
Workforce Management: |
More accurately manage employees and save up to 4% of annual gross payroll budgets by eliminating “buddy punching” into
PC-based time clock software. |
Check Cashing: |
Reduce fraud and protect assets with customer fingerprint authentication within check cashing software.
|
Membership Management: |
Member-based establishments (e.g. fitness clubs) can increase profitability, improve convenience, and eliminate problems with lost or stolen ID cards.

"We asked our database vendor to look into adding a fingerprint
component to our existing system, and I'm so glad we did! What
has impressed us most is the speed. We added Bio-SnapON in no time, and now we use it to
register 400-600 youth for services three times a week in a matter of minutes when it used to take much longer."
Jacob Gomez, Technical Services Manager
