[ Overview ]
e-UBF Small Office Kit utilizes Frequency Analysis a fingerprint verification system which converts the individual pattern found on fingerprints into waveform data which can be checked by frequency analysis. This solution can be linked with other solutions including electronic locks and employee attendance management solutions, and can be utilized as the core element of a comprehensive information protection solution.
The cost of this solution has been reduced through limiting the number of server licenses for the e-UBF Enterprise Fingerprint Verification Solution, until now sold principally to large businesses such as financial institutions, as well as by including the e-UBF ID Manager, which allows Web applications and Windows applications to be certified by fingerprint, in the set. This will help to promote the use of this solution among small and mid-sized businesses.
