TV Station Upgrades with Visitor Management System
Over the past 15 years the visitor management market has evolved from a simple “hello my name is” label to roaming officers processing visitors with 4G-enabled tablets and evacuation systems
Over the past 15 years the visitor management market has evolved from a simple “hello my name is” label to roaming officers processing visitors with 4G-enabled tablets and evacuation systems that automatically notify both employees and visitors at the time of an emergency. One of the most recent trends in visitor management is Software as a Service (SaaS), which allows an online visitor management to be hosted or managed, and gives the user an easily accessible record of visitors in the building at any given time. An enterprise security director or even local authorities can access real-time data, from any computer, laptop or even a smartphone. Many visitor management systems today have IT limitations that prohibit rapid deployment or widespread adoption. iVisitor by Veristream, Orlando, Florida, is an online SaaS visitor management system that has processed more than seven million visitors globally over the last year with predictions of exceeding 10 million per year by the end of 2015. This story features Portland’s NBC affiliate KGW Channel 8and its implementation of the solution.
KGW decided to conduct a thorough security assessment of its building, which not only houses their 180 employees, but also two tenants: Comcast Sports Net, a cable broadcaster, and Advanced Broadcast Solutions, an equipment reseller.
