Access Management

Updating your emergency response lockdown options can be expensive, especially if you need to rewire the system.

When implementing a new badging project, it is cost effective to use applications that are already in place.

To understand how significant the mobile application market is around the world today, you just need to review the numbers.

Many institutions have been haunted by the memories of disastrous shootings and tragedies where, among other things, access control went wrong: Columbine, Virginia Tech, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire.

Think that a top U.S. bioterror lab would know to lock its doors...but internal emails describe repeated, potentially dangerous security lapses.

Retail, banking and convenience store sectors face the unique challenges of high employee turnover, “floating” employees, internal fraud/shrinkage, and cost center for key/lock/card management and, therefore, it is easy to see the importance of a reliable and affordable access system.

It’s old, it’s outdated, it’s archaic – call it what you will. When the moment arrives when your card reader refuses to let you, your staff, or someone else who is authorized into your organization, it’s time for a change. How that change is done and how much it will cost is the hard part. But there’s good news: a switch might be on a smaller scale, like the Falls Church City Public School System in Virginia.

Let’s be honest. The average employee probably doesn’t give his or her ID badge much thought. They hope that they remember it each workday, it gets them in the building and it’s fun to swing around when they’re bored. But new badging systems are changing how IDs are being used throughout an organization, adapting the piece of plastic from a utilitarian accessory to an integrated business tool.
