This was made possible when the NSWWIA used the Edentiti MEIMA to give exhibitors the option of entering the awards online.
 
Because the NSWWIA did not have an online credit card facility their management elected to incorporate a PayPal account to allow exhibitors to pay by credit card. The Edentiti online entry system also was set up to allow exhibitors the option of paying by bank transfer.
 
By providing an online entry facility on their website the NSWWIA was able to accept entries for their awards 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without the need for additional staff.
 
The Edentiti MEIMA allows small organisations that would not normally be in a position to pay for the development of their own online entry facility to offer an online entry facility for their exhibitors.]]> http://www.edentiti.com/edentiti/2007/11/nsw-wine-industry-association.html http://www.edentiti.com/edentiti/2007/11/nsw-wine-industry-association.html Edentiti news Wed, 21 Nov 2007 11:19:21 +1000  
By utilising Edentiti's innovative MEIMA online entry facility RNCAS staff have been able to vastly reduce the time consuming tasks associated with manually processing traditional entries that are filled in by hand and arrive by post.
 
Previously the majority of RNCAS exhibitors downloaded their membership and entry forms from the RNCAS website, filled in the forms by hand and posted them back to the RNCAS office with either a cheque or credit card details attached.
 
When the completed paper entry form arrived at the RNCAS office it had to be processed manually. This involved the time consuming tasks of data entry, credit card/cheque processing and posting out a receipt.
 
Often, with hand written entries, RNCAS officials had to deal with illegible handwriting and incorrectly calculated total fees leading to additional follow up by telephone.
 
With the Edentiti system all fees owing are automatically calculated and once an exhibitors pays by credit card online they automatically receive a receipt by email.
 
For the RNCAS to use the Edentiti system they simply provided copies of their relevant paper entry forms. Once the system was developed the RNCAS added an online entry link on their website.
 
The Edentiti MEIMA was first used by the RNCAS for the 2007 Royal Canberra Show but this year Edentiti expanded their relations with with the show organisation by providing an online entry facility for the 2007 Vintage Cellars National Wine Show. This allowed wineries throughout Australia and New Zealand to enter with exhibitors in the National Wine Show online for the first time.
 
When Edentiti provides an online entry facility for an organisation such as the RNCAS Edentiti also provides an online help facility both during and after hours. This means that if an exhibitor needs help with their entry after they do not have to wait until the next day when the RNCAS office is open to receive assistance. ]]> http://www.edentiti.com/edentiti/2007/11/royal-show-chooses-edentiti-me.html http://www.edentiti.com/edentiti/2007/11/royal-show-chooses-edentiti-me.html Edentiti news Wed, 21 Nov 2007 11:09:11 +1000 http://www.edentiti.com/edentiti/2007/11/voice-verification-in-educatio.html http://www.edentiti.com/edentiti/2007/11/voice-verification-in-educatio.html Industry news Wed, 14 Nov 2007 23:07:44 +1000
A typical application of Edentiti voiceprint verification is help desk assistance. A customer calls from a known phone number. The customer is asked to say their pass phrase and this is checked by the computer. The call is then passed to the operator with an indication of how reliable the identification was and whether more identification information is required. In most cases this will reduce the call centre operator time and the time the customer spends on the phone. The system preserves the privacy of the customer as the call centre operator does not need to know who they are talking to - only the information the organisation holds on the customer.

Voiceprints can be used for more than simple anonymous identification. A voiceprint can be used to allow information from other sources to be provided to an organisation. Any other organisation that allows access to their information through a voiceprint can allow that information to be given to other organisations. For example a University holds information about the qualifications of graduates. The University can allow an individual to access the database of those qualifications using their voice print. The person can then pass that on to any other organisation that accepts identification via voiceprint.

Because voiceprints are unique and because it can be proved that a given individual uttered their pass phrase or voiceprint signature, voiceprints can be used in the place of signatures. For example an organisation that accepts voiceprints for identification can ask their customers to sign such documents as direct debit requests for automatic payment of goods and services.
