Hands on with <strong>Steria</strong><strong>FITPlus</strong><br />
Simple and user-friendly, <strong>Steria</strong><strong>FITPlus</strong> and <strong>Steria</strong><strong>FITPlus</strong> Enterprise are a joy to use.<br />
Here’s how they work:<br />
Main menu: A user-friendly method of selecting task<br />
or workflow<br />
Personal data entry screen: Easily enter all personal<br />
and case data relevant to the selected workflow<br />
Fingerprint capture: Enrollment of each finger with<br />
automatic sequencing and quality control<br />
Tenprint view: All fingers are captured and displayed<br />
with a corresponding quality assessment<br />
Mugshot capture: Accurately capture front and profile<br />
images, scars, marks and tattoos<br />
Travel document scanning: The travel document is<br />
captured with ultraviolet, infrared and normal white<br />
light sources. In addition, the machine-readable zone<br />

Bring it online<br />
<strong>Steria</strong><strong>FITPlus</strong> Enterprise is the intranet version of<br />
<strong>Steria</strong><strong>FITPlus</strong> with all the benefits of the new system,<br />
plus one new one – it gives users the option to<br />
use either <strong>Steria</strong> software or html-based ActiveX<br />
components to communicate online. It also eases<br />
implementation and future updating demands<br />
by limiting software installation to one central<br />
web server. Any computer linked to the network<br />
can access and run the application. This removes<br />
concerns about outdated software on remote<br />
terminals or slow installation. Time is saved all<br />
round and administration eased.<br />
With installation confined to one central web server, any network computer can run<br />
the latest application quickly and simply<br />
Fieldwork<br />
<strong>Steria</strong>FastID is ideal for use in all field applications,<br />
from the streets of the city to the furthest borders<br />
– anywhere there’s a mobile phone connection<br />
in fact. All you do is connect through a police<br />
network or mobile phone and two, four or eight<br />
single-finger prints can be registered or crosschecked<br />
against the central database. This often<br />
gives the field officer a vital advantage by checking<br />
more people faster and eliminating unnecessary<br />
retention of suspects.<br />
<strong>Steria</strong>FastID increases field officers’ effectiveness
