UK Firms May MicroChip Thousands of Employees to Increase Security - Interesting Engineering

One firm considering the program has "hundreds of thousands of employees." Each chip costs between £70 and £260 per person and would replace a physical ID pass that is currently used. BioHax says they have plans to open to open an office in London to keep up with the reported demand.

U.S leads the ways in RFID implanting

They say they have already chipped 4,000 people, most of them in Sweden. Fifty employees at the United States based vending machine company were implanted with a tiny radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips last year that allows them to open doors and log onto computers.

The chips were implanted using BiHax. CEO of the company Todd Westby, explained the move in a statement, "We foresee the use of RFID technology to drive everything from making purchases in our office break room market, opening doors, use of copy machines, logging into our office computers, unlocking phones, sharing business cards, storing medical/health information, and used as payment at other RFID terminals. Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc."

Virginia Tech Pamplin alumnus Jay Ives included in Forbes' 30 ... - Virginia Tech Daily

In the early months of 2020, as COVID-19 left many small and medium-sized businesses struggling in its wake, Virginia Tech Pamplin College of Business alumnus and Jives Media founder Jay Ives saw an opportunity to serve his local community. "Businesses were hurting, and I wanted to do everything in my power to support them," Ives said. What he couldn't have foreseen is how taking this opportunity to serve would, over the course of just two years, rapidly transform his career and earn him a spot on Forbes' 30 under 30 list among the world's top marketers. The 29-year-old entrepreneur and CEO started his professional journey as a marketing management major at Virginia Tech, completing his undergraduate degree in 2016. "I knew to be a 'lethal marketer,' I had to have the proper support, training, and education to develop both qualitative and quantitative marketing skills." He chose to enroll in Pamplin for the world-class education he knew he woul...

With president Cyril Ramaphosa's State of the Nation Address due to take place on Thursday, and rumours of an imminent cabinet shakeup abounding, it's unsurprising that National Treasury's eTender Portal is relatively quiet this week. That's not to say there's little of interest in the issue though. In fact, a notice from beleaguered Eskom is likely to attract attention from all sectors of society. In the tender, the utility states it wishes to replace its existing customer relationship management (CRM) solution, including the CS Online web portal and MyEskom customer mobile application. The tender documentation notes Eskom's existing applications and architecture are "fragmented with limited functionality and do not provide a holistic, omni-channel customer engagement experience that is seamless across channels (telephony IVR, web portal, mobile app)". What's more, it says it would like to move as many of its costly telephony interaction...
