Ultimate Convenience

In Part 1 of this 4-Part series, we gave you an overview of the environment and benefits of a cloud-based, enterprise class access control solution, ACaaS. In Part 2, we take a look at the wide range of benefits that end users and administrators will enjoy with a cloud-based solution:

• Remote Management and Monitoring
• Mobile App Connectivity
• Visitor Management
• Automated System Upgrades
• Simplified User Interface
• Single Sign-on
• Focus on your Job
  
  

Remote management and monitoring allow system administrators to enroll, change access rights, or revoke access from anywhere. That means you can be on the road and be able to make changes right from your mobile device.

Additionally, aside from system management, an administrator or location manager can control the access control solution from a mobile device. This means that if a new employee arrives, a known visitor needs access, or a delivery needs to be let in, the authorized user can remotely allow access to that door instantly without being on location.

Many organizations are taking additional measures to track visitors. Systems enabled with integrated visitor management bring all those features under the access control umbrella. Visitors can even pre-enroll and speed up the on-site verification of identity process.

When considering system maintenance, a cloud-based solution enables the IT team to continue with their normal duties while the access control service provider performs system upgrades without interruption.

Simplified user interfaces are now available, cutting down on user confusion and new employee onboarding time. Logs can be reviewed, and incidents can be investigated with a simple user dashboard.

Employees and administrators have a wide variety of programs to log into each day. Many organizations implement Active Directory or other user management systems to streamline login processes by enabling a single sign-on capability, eliminating the need to sign into every application.

Ultimately, the overall convenience of an ACaaS solution allows you to focus on the tasks at hand, enabling business growth rather than adding friction to the daily operation of your business.

Tune in for Part 3 of this series where we talk about what’s on everyone’s mind when it comes to cloud-based solutions: Cyber and Data Security.
