bioTRAiTS Finds Windows 7 Easy Upgrade For Time Management, Security Applications For Global Market

ORLANDO - bioTRAiTS, Inc., the Orlando-based biometric engineering company that markets bioTRAiTS Time Manager and bioTRAiTS PCID corporate security systems worldwide along with a wide range of professional and consumer IT products, successfully completed integration of MicroSoft Windows 7 into its principal applications and is now shipping bioTRAiTS Time Manager V.7 and bioTRAiTS PCID V.7 to bioTRAiTS UK.co, a European distributor.

Peter A. Wengert, chief executive officer of bioTRAiTS, Inc., said integration of Windows 7 was a simple process.

“Our product worked almost seamlessly with the 32 bit version, and only had a few minor adjustments to make with the 64 bit version,” Wengert said.

bioTRAiTS Programmer Kyle Webb said Windows 7 user access controls presented minor challenges. “Adapting the user access controls was annoying for both versions but they constitute excellent security precautions,” Webb explained.

“Windows 7 provides plenty of documentation on how to work with the new operating system, and that made the transition fairly painless,” he said.Ricardo Aguilar, chief operating officer at bioTRAiTS, said the firm’s specialists have already begun upgrading clients in the field.

“Compared to Vista, integrating Windows 7 was a walk in the park,” Aguilar said. “We’ve had no problems upgrading existing systems in the field.”

bioTRAiTS Inc. is a University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program client located at the Central Florida Research Park in East Orlando.

BioTraits, Inc. Launches Biotraits PC-ID to Provide Workers with Secure Computer Access from Off-Site Locations

ORLANDO, Fla. - BioTraits, Inc., the six-year old biometric technology firm that provides corporate and government agencies with state-of-the-art security and accounting systems that accurately recognize and verify unique human characteristics, has launched BioTraits PC-ID, a security software component that provides employees with secure off-site access to online accounts and files.

Peter A. Wengert, founder and chief executive officer of the firm, said BioTraits PC-ID utilizes some of the same technology BioTraits developed in conjunction with the world’s leading security firms to verify the identity of workers entering or leaving secure areas.

“With BioTraits PC-ID, companies can give workers secure access to internal files from any location in the world and record their time, activities, job codes and accounting for billing purposes,” Wengert said.

“BioTraits PC-ID provides an accurate accounting of all work performed with job codes, times and other data, and provides employers with all the necessary human resources accounting data so that employees can be accurately compensated for their efforts,” Wengert said.

BioTraits PC-ID can also be used to secure certain files from specific workers or divisions, Wengert said.

“BioTraits PC-ID can be easily configured to grant different levels of secure offsite access to individual workers or to divisions within the company,” Wengert said.

Wengert said BioTraits PC-ID was developed to take the virtual workplace to a new level of security and automation.

“With PC-ID, a company can establish highly secure, fully automated virtual offices with employees all over the world,” Wengert said.

Biometric sensors enable corporate CEOs and HR managers to open a secure virtual office on any desktop anywhere in the world.

“The new software enables workers to verify access to the company’s VPN, to clock in and out from the remote desktop anywhere in the world and securely transmit data back to payroll so that all the proper accruals — vacation time, etc. — are accounted for,” Wengert explained.
