With programmable smart credentials granting access to users, employers can account for staff movement 24/7, saving on the administration costs of older systems.
Leverage (ROI)
A key performance measure for any business is showing that asset purchases provide a return on investment. A security and access control system however, does not provide a direct financial return in itself so how can a business quantify the benefits and therefore justify expenditure? When it comes to technology assets, maximizing benefits does not just mean reducing the cost, but also leveraging as many advantages from the technology as possible.
Immediate Benefits
A security system pays for itself in short time from the energy savings achieved through building automation. The ability to shut down energy-consuming HVAC and lighting systems when not in use is in line with modern business’s quest to operate sustainably.
Intrusion detection is augmented with a range of arming functions and targeted building automation options. Access control monitors, restricts and audits the movement of individuals. Integration with third-party devices (such as wireless locks and video management systems) increases security and surveillance and helps reduce theft and burglary.
Integration with existing technology
A business’s existing IT infrastructure investment is maximized as Protege GX adds value with its leading-edge technology. Integration is the enabler. There are many good reasons for moving from legacy systems to newer, IP-based technologies, such as leveraging existing devices like smartphones as virtual access credentials.
Protege GX uses standard protocols and data import utilities to openly integrate, allowing for the implementation of single source of truth (SSOT) data architecture where data is entered once and effortlessly shared. Such integration improves both the quality and accuracy of data and delivers operational efficiency.
Benefits Over Time
