How to Evaluate Payroll Software

February 4th, 2010 abdulmuneem No comments
If your business has employees payroll processing is a recurring task that cannot be put off or ignored even though it can be a complex, time-consuming chore. Much more than simply writing a few checks, payroll requires accurate calculation, proper record keeping and compliance with state and federal regulations. There are many payroll system software packages on the market to take much of the pain out of this grating chore. There are some important considerations involved in selecting payroll software.

More than one million records were returned by a simple online search for ‘payroll software’. Selecting one package from this many possibilities looks impossible but there are some basic considerations that can quickly narrow the field. The calculation function of a payroll system is relatively straightforward. Any experienced spreadsheet user can put together a payroll calculator easily. The most important components of a payroll system are the recordkeeping, reporting and security measures. Any useful software package will integrate all these vital functions seamlessly.

Any user competent with spreadsheets can easily set up a worksheet for the basic calculation of a payroll system. The real issues that separate payroll systems are the record-keeping, reporting, security, and compliance with regulations. Any valid package must integrate all of these functions in one seamless package.

Any hacker can scrape together a more-or less functional program and sell it on the internet. These programs are rarely worth even the small price of admission. A real payroll system will include serious security measures for company records; robustness to perform under heavy use; customer support in case there are issues and full compliance with state and federal regulations. Reputable software vendors are large enough to meet these requirements with trained staff and actual customer service departments. Researching the vendor can quickly eliminate the one-person shops that cannot possibly deliver a full featured product.

Any new software must integrate with any current systems in use. Employee databases and other company records must be easily transferred or the existing systems must be supported. If your company is small enough, manual records transfer may be a viable option.

Investigating payroll system software should not stop at the vendor’s sales pitch and advertising claims. A glaring focus on one or two features may be disguising some shortcomings in other functionality. Independent reviews are good places to uncover functional problems or security issues.

There is no way to evaluate a package without a hands-on test. Legitimate software producers often have evaluation versions available. Download a copy and test the usability and functionality. Remember that evaluation packages should not be tested in a production environment with real data. One often overlooked point is who will actually be using the software. The data entry clerk in the next room must be able to quickly learn the system; the IT manager won’t be using it daily.Â

How Biometric System works?

January 13th, 2010 abdulmuneem No comments

A biometric system can operate in the following two modes:

Verification – A one to one comparison of a captured biometric with a stored template to verify that the individual is who he claims to be. Can be done in conjunction with a smart card, username or ID number.

Identification – A one to many comparison of the captured biometric against a biometric database in attempt to identify an unknown individual. The identification only succeeds in identifying the individual if the comparison of the biometric sample to a template in the database falls within a previously set threshold.
Biometric System Workflow
The first time an individual uses a biometric system is called an enrollment. During the enrollment, biometric information from an individual is stored. In subsequent uses, biometric information is detected and compared with the information stored at the time of enrollment. Note that it is crucial that storage and retrieval of such systems themselves be secure if the biometric system is to be robust. The first block (sensor) is the interface between the real world and the system; it has to acquire all the necessary data. Most of the times it is an image acquisition system, but it can change according to the characteristics desired. The second block performs all the necessary pre-processing: it has to remove artifacts from the sensor, to enhance the input (e.g. removing background noise), to use some kind of normalization, etc. In the third block features needed are extracted. This step is an important step as the correct features need to be extracted in the optimal way. A vector of numbers or an image with particular properties is used to create a template. A template is a synthesis of the relevant characteristics extracted from the source. Elements of the biometric measurement that are not used in the comparison algorithm are discarded in the template to reduce the filesize and to protect the identity of the enrollee.

If enrollment is being performed the template is simply stored somewhere (on a card or within a database or both). If a matching phase is being performed, the obtained template is passed to a matcher that compares it with other existing templates, estimating the distance between them using any algorithm (e.g. Hamming distance). The matching program will analyze the template with the input. This will then be output for any specified use or purpose (e.g. entrance in a restricted area).

Biometrics Basics

Biometrics comprises methods for uniquely recognizing humans based upon one or more intrinsic physical or behavioral traits. In information technology, in particular, biometrics is used as a form of identity access management and access control. It is also used to identify individuals in groups that are under surveillance.

Biometric characteristics can be divided in two main classes:
Physiological are related to the shape of the body. Examples include, but are not limited to fingerprint, face recognition, DNA, hand and palm geometry, iris recognition, which has largely replaced retina, and odor/scent.

Behavioral are related to the behavior of a person. Examples include, but are not limited to typing rhythm, gait, and voice. Some researcher have coined the term behaviometrics for this class of biometrics.

Strictly speaking, voice is also a physiological trait because every person has a different vocal tract, but voice recognition is mainly based on the study of the way a person speaks, commonly classified as behavioral.

It is possible to understand if a human characteristic can be used for biometrics in terms of the following parameters:

  • Universality – each person should have the characteristic.
  • Uniqueness – is how well the biometric separates individuals from another.
  • Permanence – measures how well a biometric resists aging and other variance over time.
  • Collectability – ease of acquisition for measurement.
  • Performance – accuracy, speed, and robustness of technology used.
  • Acceptability – degree of approval of a technology.
  • Circumvention – ease of use of a substitute.
