Whitepaper: Boosting efficiency and streamlining security with an integrated access control solution
Integration. Integrated systems. Integrators. Interoperability. Connected buildings.
No doubt anyone involved in security, facilities or building management recognises at least one of these terms. Or, more likely, reads one of these phrases in industry publications and vendor marketing materials on a weekly basis. In a world where technology and innovation continue to receive plentiful investment, integrated systems are becoming a cornerstone of future development plans.
Secure access management has not been left untouched by the move towards integration. Indeed, access control systems are often viewed as the starting point for a building to shift away from operating in separate siloes, towards a more functional, connected and sophisticated building management system.
In this whitepaper, developed by IFSEC Global in conjunction with ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA, we delve deeper into why access control systems play such an integral role in the building integration process. How can they improve efficiencies and scalability, while also improving upon security and site management processes? And, why is demand growing for integrating access control with video surveillance, intruder alarms, HVAC, lighting, AV systems, and more?

- A definition of integration and the central role of access control
- Opportunities and challenges in integrated systems
- Benefits of integrating hardware and software-based access control solutions
- Integrated access solutions in action
- Exclusive interview with global security systems’ integrator, Securitas
- A viewpoint on the future of integration
