New
Division within IDentilam |
As a company
that reinvests 5% of annual turnover in R&D it is vital
that we are always up to date with the market requirement.
A new division within IDentilam – New
Business Opportunities – has been set up to ensure that our
development fits in with our client and market requirements.
Nevill Hollands has been appointed to
head this new division; Nevill’s experience embraces
the Financial Services Industry and he has been Sales Training
Manager in a substantial UK Corporate until recently.
The first new recruit is Kirsty Carson
who will work under Nevill and together they will assimilate
as much market information as possible for our specific Market
Sectors. The plan is to increase the division to 3 more persons
as and when suitable personnel can be found.

Bureau ID
Card Services BICS
|
Extra staff bought in
6 extra staff members have been recruited
to work in the BICS department over the
next 4 months; BICS has three big events
to cover including pre-registration and on site attendance in
different parts of the UK.
The BICS division has been in operation
since 1989 and provides pre event and on-site event badging both
in the UK and overseas.
The recent introduction of ComPicWeb has
meant that all data entries and completed records can be viewed
online, by the client and security (Police) forces, prior to
and throughout the event; using wireless PDA readers
(or tethered readers) the data can also be brought up on a screen
for additional verification and granting of access rights.

added to the Lanyard range of products the flexible

older and young people; a simple, sturdy attachment
to the lanyard enables standard plastic bottle
to be carried using a lanyard; the device can
also be attached to our Karabiner clips and worn
off the belt strap, a rucksack or similar.

New
Features for ComPic & ComPicWeb |
New Features
for ComPic & ComPicWeb - Computer Photo ID card System
At large, fast moving events, where
badges are being handed out at great speed, in the past it
has been difficult to keep track of the issuance of the badges;
a new card trailing feature in the ComPic family software
has now bridged this gap.
Used in conjunction with ComPic, Badge
and Track & the Card Caddie, as delegates/visitors collect
their badges they are electronically read and give a full audit
trail to who collected their badge and where and when.
A new option has been added to the main
record screen in ComPic to allow the user to view more detailed
record update history, such as how many times the record has
been modified, if it requires printing and whether it was created
in the local ComPic application or via a ComPicWeb browser
application.
A new more user friendly event transaction
list can now be generated in Badge & Track to clearly show
the activity or movement of a delegate at an event, including
which sessions and seminars they have attended, the time they
arrived and whether they were permitted access.

CaddiePen
Getting a Grip on the Market |
Dunlop and Goodyear, international
tyre manufacturers have recently ordered 1,000 CaddiePens
for use at their Corporate Golf Days. CaddiePen has provided
a unique and constant reminder for all the golfers who attend
and will be carried on their bags long after the event. CaddiePen
is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to giving
away branded balls which are often very quickly lost and
also remain under cover in the golf bag

Another great
success for ComPic Badging and Accreditation
Over 20,000 Passes were issued at Wimbledon
fortnight, covering all players, officials, coaches, guests,
journalists and workers.
The passes carry a photograph and graphic
symbols to show the access and privileges accorded to the card
holders. Over 50 different card styles are in use and the embedded
‘embellishments’ feature
in ComPic allows for easy automatic triggering of complex card
combinations.
The cards are also used to check in and
out the holders - over 300,000 gate transactions are recorded
over the event; the cards also carry data that allows for meals
to be had without payment.
In September meetings will take place
for the next year’s tournament where additional features
will be added including the ‘Badge and Track’ software
element being added to the existing system, providing even
more sophisticated reporting and tracking of the attendees
and the expanded use of WIFI readers. ComPic also interfaces
with a CRM system that is being used at the Club.
The 15 workstations have been running
since 1997 at the Tournament and the relationship between the
AELTC and IDentilam goes from strength to strength; IDentilam’s
ability to deliver on time, support and write sophisticated
‘handshaking software’ is the basis of the long
relationship.
