Biometric Finger Scanning Identification: identiMetrics' Finger Scanning Identification Solution, identiFi Hailed By National School Board Association Delegates

identiMetrics, a recognized leader in the development and marketing of biometrics finger scanning identification solutions, with their proprietary software identiFi™, was recently hailed by National School Board Association (NSBA) delegates at Richland School District Two in Columbia, South Carolina. Watch the video on this implementation.

Richland School District Two has been in the news a lot over the past year. Not only have they experienced the excitement and challenges of opening two new elementary schools with over 1,000 students; they have had the distinction of a recent visit by some 100 NSBA delegates from across the country, taking a close look at how this forward-thinking school district has incorporated some of the latest technology out there.

Thanks to companies like identiMetrics and The Owen Group, who teamed up to introduce biometrics to Richland Two, this student body is really technology-savvy. From kindergartners to high school seniors, using identiMetrics' cost-effective and easy-to-use biometric finger scanning identification system, identiFi, is another learning tool that's easy as A,B,C.

According to Sandlapper Elementary Principal, Linda Hall, "The students are growing up with it [technology], this is their age in time. They are ‘digital natives' who use their fingers easily and electronically, whether it's in the cafeteria or library." School Superintendent, Stephen Hefner, adds his praise for his students and teachers; his pride at being the focus of national attention, and his acknowledgement that incorporating biometrics has been well worth it to this suburban South Carolina school district.

Norm Rischbieter, General Manager of The Owen Group, attended the presentation to NSBA and adds, "I was impressed with the uniqueness of the situation. Here you have technology experts from all over the USA who are seeing technology in action first-hand. The kids are comfortable with it; it works, and it's financially and educationally successful. We're pretty proud of that!" "This endorsement by delegates from the National School Board Association is both personally satisfying and once again supports identiMetrics' goal of being the leader in biometric student identification in schools," comments Jay Fry, President & CEO of identiMetrics.
