method of Data Collection should you choose?
Data collection? It's a fancy word for "time clock." In your company, what would be the best way for employees to submit their data - to punch in and out? There are a wide variety of data collection options out there today from standard PC's and keypad devices, to badge readers, and biometric clocks; even telephones can be used to log employee time. Furthermore, clocks can act as access control points, facilities for employees to change jobs throughout the workday, or kiosks for looking up employee benefit time and requesting time-off.
