Today, the demand for access control that meets user’s needs is growing end over end. This means a way to manage systems from anywhere and at any time, with accessibility from any device. Cloud capabilities make that dream a reality.

Almost everyone has a smart phone now. Imagine being able to tap into your company system while you are traveling for work, or even on vacation. Having this information at your fingertips allows a stronger presence, and therefore higher efficiency and productivity. The ability to manage your security system remotely is instrumental in allowing your focus to be on building your business.

As businesses expand there can sometimes be a breakdown in communication. The idea of always being connected is advantageous to companies experiencing this pitfall. By integrating disparate systems, such as video surveillance and access control, into a single cloud-based platform that can be universally utilised, the result is heightened communication and a unified front.

Vanderbilt believes it was quick to realise the critical importance of cloud technology, especially when it comes to safety and security. A monumental concern for businesses is the protection of people and assets. This can be easier to deploy and manage using cloud solutions. With advanced access control management and video solutions, it is now easier than ever to obtain situational awareness that will provide the desired protection.

With the addition of the ACT cloud-based video and access management platform, integrators will now have the chance to build their business using recurring monthly revenue, an option that wasn’t available from Vanderbilt before its recent acquisition. Building business with the cloud is now a viable option and meets the demands of a new subset of customers.
