M2SYS Technology, a fingerprint biometrics developer, has finalized an agreement with ZOLL Data Systems, a developer of fire department management and emergency management systems software, to provide ZOLL’s customers with biometric technologies.

The two companies are expecting toCombine M2SYS’s Bio-Plugin software with ZOLL’s RescueNet Crew Scheduler to create a front-end fingerprint system that employees can use for clocking in and out.
