More is never less when it comes to enhancing an enterprise security access control system with features that complement both security and business goals.
More is never less when it comes to enhancing an enterprise security access control system with features that complement both security and business goals. For Kenneth Cadenhead, his access gain includes sustainability of his facility. Josh Ennis needed “more” to overcome a default to a key and lock solution because of a legacy access control system that was lacking. And for Eric Mullen, enhanced access control enabled “us to take on much more meaningful work that more directly serves our constituents.” The business bottom line is clear: There is more that can be squeezed from electronic access control than just opening a door.
Cadenhead, director of facilities at Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas, had the luxury of a new construction project, which involved installation of integrated systems specifically designed to match the architecture of the facility and accommodate the complex exhibit structure. The aim was for building owners to strip away layers of complexity by integrating multiple systems to achieve enterprise-wide facilities management. This uses less energy, tightens security, speeds response timesa and maintains optimal environments for occupants, saving up to 36 percent, in the case of the museum, on operating costs over time.
