Secure identity solutions provider HID Global has released a cloud platform that it says will create an innovation ecosystem in the ‘connected workplace’ and make it easier for employees to use a range of services.
Built on HID’s access control infrastructure HID Origo “will remove integration barriers between access control systems and smart building applications”.
The platform, which combines HID’s mobile IDs technologies (with location services to come), unifies physical security and a wide range of building applications and services.
Features
Suite of integration, enablement and developer tools and services designed to simplify how partners, developers and resellers bring access control solutions to market. HID Origo allows simultaneous development of applications and integrated solutions – as opposed to one customer or site at a time – for HID’s complete installed base of millions of access control devices and systems
Embeds cloud connections and IoT functionalityas app extensions into mobile devices, HID readers and controllers. Developers have direct access to this hardware via HID Origo application programming interfaces (APIs) and software developer kits (SDK), which have already been deployed successfully through HID’s mobile access solution
New data analytics capabilities, including remote reader configuration, predictive access control system maintenance and intent detection
Subscription-based services designed to simplify ordering and management of mobile IDs; enhance forecasting, budgeting and reporting; and streamline transferal of mobile ID subscription licenses across employees and registering multiple mobile IDs across multiple devices without additional cost
Case study
A world-leading biotechnology company is an early adopter of HID Origo subscription services, ordering and managing mobile ID replenishment over the air when employees lose or must replace their smartphones. The company has replaced its traditional access control readers with 2,300 Bluetooth-enabled iCLASS SE readers to support a mixed environment of 12,000 mobile IDs and 40,000 Seos ID cards.
HID Global says
“HID Origo lays the foundation for a broad ecosystem of cloud-based access control technologies, products, services and business models that will accelerate workplace innovation,” said Hilding Arrehed, vice president of cloud services, physical access control, HID Global. “It dramatically increases our partners’ capabilities to create more connected and seamless building experiences for end users.”
“The platform will remove integration barriers between access control systems and smart building applications, and we will continue to expand its value with capabilities that further improve how people securely move through a facility and interact with its services.”
