Opt for Simple and Personalized Access Management

Access management solutions are tailored to the needs of professionals and the specificities of their buildings. They combine ergonomics with ease of use to allow clients to control their access with complete autonomy, on-site or remotely. Supervision software allows for the integration of interoperability between different systems in order to manage access to various sectors of a building.

The assignment of access rights is one of the main challenges forsecuring premises. It works by zones and by user groups. It is also possible to program time slots. With control interfaces, it is an easy process to activate and deactivate employee badges.

Users receive notifications by SMS or email if particular events occur. Think of authentication refusals, installation malfunctions, or intrusion alerts. Supervisors have access to all passage histories. Traceability is total.

Plan the programming of alarm scenarios. It is possible to set up the triggering of scenarios that simulate events to check the operation of different systems. View the overall operability of the various access modules via an interactive map that allows you to manage and control all rights remotely.

Access management for companies includes the implementation of resources to protect databases. Passwords and user identities must be stored with a high level of protection. This protection must remain optimal throughout the building’s lifecycle.

Complementary Technologies

It is now possible to deploy a range of technologies that adapt to your company’s environment: code keypad, dematerialized access via fingerprint, badge or card reader, etc.

This wide range of equipment meets all the needs of building managers in terms of access security. Depending on their geographical location, sites are exposed to different threats. It is essential that youraccess security solutionsprovider is able to adapt to your needs.

Thus, some buildings will need protection against vandalism or even sabotage attempts.
