You definitely dont want strangers getting into your office without permission or
authority more so when you are in a business like a knowledge or information based office where sensitive data may be stored and/or transmitted. In a large organization where any number of people are coming and going 24x7 using biometric access control is an excellent way to control who can enter the office. Apart from security considerations it is very important to monitor the employees attendance for accurate payroll and to enforce discipline. More so if there are issues like overtime and additional pay involved.
In some companies there are salary deductions for habitual late coming which is instituted to enforce punctuality but can end up as a mockery for someone who has sufficient friends in the office. Where people mark their attendance as well as their in and out times with a manual punch card there have been cases of friends doing the needful to cover for erratic attendance and protect their friends from being punished. With biometric access control this can be obviated and buddies giving proxy can be ended. When used to track attendance reliable software paired with it should come with nicely designed useful reports like daily attendance report, individual attendance report, consolidated reports which consolidates the late comers, early leavers, absents and missed out punching, lateness summary report and working hours summary report.
Another security feature that companies are increasingly investing in is the use of bulletproof glass for interior decoration and for windows. With escalating crime rates which promise to get worse rather than better, it is actually a sound investment. Apart from anyone getting hit by a bullet during a shootout or attack, splintering glass can also prove pretty lethal. Bullet proof glass can withstand not just one but a numerous number of bullet rounds. So you will feel secure knowing that your home or business can be protected while you are away. There are many layers of protection that you can get depending on what type of bullets you want to prevent. Remember, it is not just political leaders and film stars who are under threat these days.
