2010 is a mark of FingerTec ten-year anniversary. It all started 10 years ago with an idea of producing a fingerprint technology for commercial use and now it has now grown to become a renowned brand of fingerprint system for office automation and security industries around the globe. FingerTec is not only about fingerprint technology; it is about convenience, it is about productivity. As Abbas Mukadam, the winner of FingerTec Tagline Contest simply puts it; FingerTec is a touch of assurance.

"Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond to it," Lou Holtz, a retired American football coach, and active sportscaster, author, and motivational speaker once said, and it’s accurate 97% of the time.

Come every New Year, people are talking about the outlook of the year and what to anticipate or not to expect when the time comes. It’s like reading a horoscope at the start of the day; it could make or break you if you put your total trust in it. What’s more important than to anticipate what’s going to happen is to be prudent and hopeful besides putting extra efforts in making sure that we stand strong and always work hard regardless of the future challenges the year has in store for us.

2011 is a new decade of this millennium and we are excited to welcome this New Year with a lot of things planned for FingerTec.

 
New Products
The trial version of the highly anticipated web-based software, TimeTec has been released in early November and FingerTec plans to debut TimeTec in the first quarter of 2011. The introduction of TimeTec would open a vast amount of opportunity for FingerTec and its resellers to tap into markets that require web application in time attendance and door access system. Running on MySQL and having a great interface, TimeTec is not a free application and the price will be advised when the product is ready to launch, most probably in February.
 
2011 also will be witnessing FingerTec advancing itself in access security industry with an introduction of a series of controllers named FingerTec i-Hub. The i-Hub series caters to 1-door, 2-door and 4-door environment, suitable for various surroundings and requirements. I-Hub suggests centralization of access control devices made easy, planned to meet our customers by end of quarter two of 2011. The move to initiate door controllers will strengthen the brand positioning in the access security industry.
