FingerTec Websites: Help Yourselves with Our Vast Assets!
We have hundreds of resellers around the world. I can say that all of them know that fingertec.com has a decent website. The question is, how good is our website? I believe some of our resellers are yet to find out the benefits that our website could bring about. So, when I have the chance to meet up with our resellers, mostly I will end up promoting how they could exploit the websites to boost sales and reduce technical supports. It might sound like a broken record, but I believe that this is important.
Many resellers were probably blown away and overwhelmed by the website’s vast ocean of information when they first visited fingertec.com. FingerTec is indeed doing a good job; and usually they will give us thumbs up for the effort. And they would browse, read the contents, but after a while, I reckon the visits become less and quick, hopped from one page to another, and eventually they’d stop visiting. To some, business will continue as it is and nothing is plucked away from the website to better their sales and support. They’ll just praise us for having a strong and better presentation than the rivals in the cyber world. And this is not what I have hoped for.
In fact in the Internet era, the functionalities of a website should be so much more than a mere declaration of the cyber presence. The level of commitment can be varied. For example, like Facebook, website is them. There is no Facebook once you went offline. And for Amazon, this company literally doesn’t exist in the real world, no matter the vast list of merchandizes they’re offering. But for companies like Wal-Mart, even though they began with physical stores, without online establishment, the future looks somehow bleak.
With FingerTec, our brand soared high only when we revamped and re-launched our website a few years back. Bit by bit, we put our efforts into building a resource center, training site, display cabinet, technical helpdesk, service booth, and etc. Whatever you want to call it, potpourri-of-information-website or a salmagundi-website, this website is there for our resellers to unleash the virtual power to boost their sales and reduce supports.
We provide resellers with free passes to a vast variety of information, a member account credential. Without this account, you will only receive discounted benefits from our website. The only thing that is stopping you from digging the information to better the business is you.
As someone who buys FingerTec products for business, always remember to enter the website with a strong motive, and leave with something valuable. What is of value on our website, is depends on what you’re looking for. For example, there are 769 video clips so far, from marketing, product intro, technical supports, user guides and etc. Take the links to help you in your sales bid presentation, user training, hardware repairs, and much more. It doesn’t cost you a thing and it adds value to your efforts.
You have a plan to demonstrate FingerTec at a customer site? Come prepared. Choose your demo set from our website. You need step-by-step Powerpoint presentation materials, search and download them without any cost. If you want raw files to update and insert your company’s information, please do so.
If you want to conduct a proper survey on your customer’s premises before you can prepare a proposal for an access control project, please get the form downloaded from our website.
We have a series of academic research papers for technology and industrial in readily print-format should you want to enhance your professionalism in submitting proposal or pricing quotation.
Don’t forget that we also have a training website with comprehensive materials at your disposal to train both trainers and trainees. After training, they can sit for online exams and receive our print certificates upon passing the exams. For a more interactive online training, we offer FingerTec webinar page to register a course of your interest. You want to train your partners in your region remotely by deploying our webinar platform? You’re welcome to use our webinar platform, cost-free, no-fee involved.
These websites are enriched to assist you in reducing technical supports. Promote and educate the end-user technical modules to your customers. You can teach them to repair hardware through videos and how to claim warranty straight from the websites.
If you need to provide your customers with FingerTec’s souvenirs, require some from marketing material page, we have over ten specially designed souvenirs displayed on our website for you to choose from.
Basically, FingerTec's job is to prepare resources that you can use to better your FingerTec business. We figured that you might need assistance so we extend our support through our websites. Please be hungry for new things, new information and keep coming to the websites and help yourselves with everything that we have to offer.

Cloud Computing Myths? Oh Please! Part Deux
Nothing grinds my gears more than business users who judge a new technology based on their preconceived notions. Living in the Internet age, where information is basically at the tip of your fingers, it's hard to believe that one can't find answers to what they're looking for by simply Googling for it. Alas, I guess that's why some users have created certain cloud computing myths.
If you've read my previous blog post, you'd already know about the report from Frost and Sullivan entitled "Cloud Computing - A Reality Check. Dispelling the Myths of Cloud Computing". I've covered the first two myths and debunked them (sort of) so it's only natural that we proceed to the two remaining ones. Read more for Part Deux!
Cloud Applications - Constantly Upgradings!
 |
| It's 2013, and a lot has changed |
Business is strange, sometimes. We recently received an email from Business Software Alliance (BSA) demanding a complete list of all licensed software that the company uses.
We used to be a BSA member quite some years ago to protect our software copyright, but we cancelled the membership after the arrival of the Internet Age. Honestly, I didn’t realize that the organization is still alive and kicking in enforcing licensed software for every company. Do I think that software copyright is no longer important? In fact, it’s the contrary. But because software has evolved since the Internet era, piracy raids seem so outdated.
Top 5 Reasons to Switch from TCMS V2 to Ingress
 |
| Over-utilizing the knife too much? |
TCMS V2 is a comprehensive and powerful time attendance management tool and has been used with FingerTec devices for years, constantly evolving through the years to accumulate newer functions and satisfy more needs. However, TCMS V2 is not a cure-for-all and there are certain situations that may be better suited to Ingress, the integrated access control management application. Read more for the top 5 reasons why you should switch from TCMS V2 to Ingress.
Harmonizing Localization and Global Standardization

| Trying to understand the globe |
Among the things that piqued my interest when I first got into FingerTec was the fact that, despite its humble beginnings in the early 2000s, the company already has its collective foots firmly planted in the international market. Pretty cool for a vision that started with just a finger. This presented a new (at that time) challenge for me as I mistakably underestimated the complexities of international marketing, and what it requires of me as both a copywriter and a marketing executive. My interest started after reading Ms. Norana Johar's piece in FingerTec's annual magazine last year (it's on page 27).

| There's more to Google than the search engine, actually |
I came across an interesting question last week: What will happen to Facebook after Facebook? This happened during my daily market research (aka the 30-minutes of random surfing I do before starting work) as I read an article that questioned if Facebook, the company, was prepared for business if Facebook, the social networking site, would one day become obsolete. This is important, because a good company shouldn't simply bank on one product as every product has its market shelf life. That's why Google, the company, is more than just Google, the search engine. So what about FingerTec? Do we stop merely at fingerprint technology? Of course not! Read more to see how we've placed our core, actual and augmented products.

Pricing
Upon entering FingerTec HQ last year, I was given a rough picture of FingerTec's marketing strategies including a hand-drawn graph of where the company stood in the market in terms of pricing by my always-on-the-go COO, Ms. Norana Johar. A very high-tech presentation, indeed. Jokes aside, the pricing strategies used revealed a lot about the company just like it would for any other company and I'm not at liberty to discuss them in detail. Therefore, I will instead discuss certain aspects about pricing in general, and try to see if we can relate it back to FingerTec. Wish me luck. Now let's read more!

Promotion
Any self-respecting Malaysian knows what truly unites the population:
Our three (yes, THREE) major shopping seasons in the country.
The nationwide shopping periods have been an excellent promotional tool as it
helps build Malaysia’s profile as a shopping destination in South East Asia.
While FingerTec can only dream of using the country’s abundance of wealth and
resources to promote the company, it is not impossible for us to achieve the
trifecta of promotional objectives; To present information, increase demand
& create product differentiation. On a surface level, most of FingerTec's promotions are done on the Internet while some actually requires our physical presence overseas. As a whole, these efforts can be categorized into sales-related and non-sales promotions. Read more for juicier details.

FingerTec can go
even further than Sun Wukong's vision
|
Place
When Sun Wukong of the literary masterpiece ‘Journey to the West’ was
challenged by Buddha to leave his gigantic palm, the Monkey King didn’t
hesitate to jump from Buddha’s hand – to get out of that place. Little
did he know that even though he can leap 108,000 miles in a leap, everything in
the world was ‘in Buddha’s hands’. In its own way, this is comparable to
FingerTec’s place in the time attendance and access control industry.
You might travel 108,000 miles away from our humble headquarters in Selangor,
Malaysia, but you’ll still see our name almost anywhere locally,
internationally or on the Web. Place, then, is just a concept. Read more
to understand why.

Thinking About Managing Attendance: 10 Reasons Why TimeTec Cloud is the Best Choice for You
 |
| Still contemplating on TimeTec Cloud? Fret not. |
Cloud system is the trend these
days. A growing number of companies are deploying cloud-computing systems in
their operations and many more are considering the same move. According to a
recent study of 1,300 U.S and U.K executives, conducted by Rackspace Hosting
with support from Manchester Business School in the UK, 58% of the respondents
agree that cloud system is cost-saving through avoiding IT infrastructure cost,
while 48% of them agreed that cloud systems give them the ability to scale up
cost effectively. That, amongst many other reasons, is one of the important of
why cloud should be implemented.
Believing cloud is the next best
thing, we developed TimeTec Cloud – a cloud-based time attendance management
software suitable for all from SMEs to large corporations. The software offers
a maximum of 14 columns of records for viewing and checking, 26 types of
readily formatted reports, which you can view, save or print in various formats
and the flexibility to export the attendance data into CSV or XLS format as
input to a 3rd party payroll or software. With TimeTec Cloud, all
you need to do is register, set your attendance rules in the application, sync
it with the biometrics hardware and you are ready to roll.

Cloud? Fret not. Read more for 10 reasons that make
TimeTec Cloud the best choice out there.

People
When
Mark Zuckerberg wants to work with you, he’ll walk with you through the woods
behind the Facebook headquarters. At the end of the hike, Mark will
simultaneously ‘unveil’ a breathtaking view of Silicon Valley along with an
offer you can’t refuse – a job position or business offer from Facebook. Well, since Puchong is no Palo Alto, I
did not expect a walk through the woods with FingerTec CEO, Mr Teh Hon Seng. I
did, however, hope for other seemly practices that would make me go, “wow, FingerTec
people are different” while working here. I wasn’t disappointed there. Read
more to see what I saw while people-watching, not unlike Woody Allen.
