Smart Card Solutions
Smart Cards are one of the latest innovations
in the world of Information Technology. These memory cards, with embedded microchips,
facilitate easy recording, access and retrieval of data for further processing.

identity, unique to its owner.

Smart Cards in the Work Place
Smart Cards are used in conjunction with a card-reader connected to a computer system to authenticate the user. Web browsers can also
use smart card technology to supplement Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for improved security of
Internet transactions.
Each employee is provided with a single card that can be programmed for single or multiple
functionality ranging from identity and access control to recording attendance as well
as for use in the library, canteen, stores, etc.
Smart
cards can facilitate the automation of
administrative processes:
Staff attendance: With a swipe of the card,
attendance is recorded and the database updated.
Payroll processing:
The recorded attendance can be used for
payroll processing.
In addition, other aspects of payroll such as leave, loans, leave travel allowance,
medical allowance, and pay-slip generation can also be easily automated.
Library:
The Card can record
borrowing/return of books and payment of dues, late fees,
penalties, etc.
Stores/Canteen:
A pre-determined cash value is stored in the card to simulate debit card usage and greatly reduce the number of small cash transactions.
Reports: The data recorded can be used to generate appropriate reports, customized to each client's specific requirements.
