This chapter draws on the author's practical experience gained through delivering trial and production biometric systems to address a fundamental question - how is an understanding of biometric ageing relevant to the world of industry, which includes governmental use for immigration and identity management, and commerce? The following discussion and conclusions are therefore intended to help to set biometric ageing in an industrial context, and may be of interest to those engaged in the topic, regardless of their relative alignment to academia, industrial research and development, or commercial delivery. The paper approaches the topic of biometric ageing in the broadest sense, considering what impact it might have on today's industrial and commercial systems. Following this initial `sanity check', some of the key factors that might tend to exacerbate the impact of biometric ageing are considered and present an approach to identify those systems most exposed to this impact. Mitigation approaches that might serve to reduce the impact that biometric ageing presents, and how these might be put into practice, are considered.
