Systems Engineering‭ (‬SE‭), ‬a leading IT strategy and managed services provider serving over 500‭ ‬legal‭, ‬healthcare‭, ‬financial services‭, ‬and government clients nationwide‭, ‬requested Connectivity Point (CPDI) to install an access control system for the five floors that they occupy at their downtown headquarters location‭.‬

In the deployment of the access system‭, ‬we used a combination of four-door and single door Kantech control panels‭. ‬This allowed‭ ‬CPDI to use shorter cable runs from the doors to the control panels saving the customer time and money‭. ‬The Kantech system allows SE to control and monitor those who get access to important areas within the building‭. ‬The system has helped SE‭ ‬provide increased security for their data‭, ‬hardware‭, ‬and personnel‭.‬

Through the Entrapass software‭, ‬they can allow certain employees access to certain doors‭, ‬even down to the days of the week or hours of the day‭. ‬The use of proximity cards‭, ‬card readers‭, ‬and electric locks allow SE to eliminate many keys they had distributed to their employees‭. ‬Now‭, ‬instead of a key‭, ‬which can be lost‭, ‬stolen or duplicated‭, ‬they simply provide them with a card that‭ ‬can be instantly deactivated if it becomes lost or stolen‭. ‬This is not to mention the cost of re-keying when a key is not returned upon an employee’s termination‭.‬

“Enhancing both the level of physical security for our employees and the further safeguarding of client data that we have within‭ ‬our office were the primary motivations in installing the access control system‭,‬”‭ ‬said Robert Leslie‭, ‬Chief Technical Officer‭. ‬“I’m confident that our new system has helped us successfully deliver on both these counts‭. ‬What did surprise me was the enthusiastic response the system has received from our employees‭. ‬Not having to use a key to open a door was something that many of them had apparently been quietly waiting for some time‭. ‬It’s always a pleasant surprise when something you’ve undertaken brings additional benefits than the ones you initially projected‭.‬”

Mr‭. ‬Leslie went on to say‭, ‬“Eric and Chris were my Connectivity contacts for this engagement‭; ‬they were both a pleasure to work with‭. ‬What I know from having worked in IT for many years is that‭, ‬even with the best laid out plans‭, ‬issues often arise‭. ‬This happened with this installation as well‭ (‬part did not arrive when expected‭, ‬locksmith’s schedule was a little challenging‭). ‬However‭, ‬when these events happen‭, ‬what I need most is that this information‭, ‬along with what the changes will mean‭, ‬will be communicated to me as soon as possible‭. ‬I would give both Eric and Chris high marks in this area‭. ‬Because of their communication I never felt the project’s success was at-risk‭.‬”
