Data is processed and manipulated based on custom requirements and then routed to the appropriate third-party system in the required format. This solution has been especially popular in higher education environments where student data — demographic information, enrolled courses, housing information and badging settings — can be processed and manipulated through the VI Connect system, ensuring that a student is only allowed to gain access to campus buildings that are relevant to that particular student’s major.

Still on the subject of higher education, Brian Mathieu, Vanderbilt Director of Sales will participate in a panel discussion involving end users, entitled “Access Control Trends in the Education Sector.”  The session will cover the trends in today’s access control marketplace for the education sector; considerations for deploying an access control solution that functions with other campus systems; and ways that these systems can aid in emergency situations. This panel will be moderated by Martha Entwistle, editor, Security Systems News, and questions will be welcomed and encouraged.

Also at the show Vanderbilt will be introducing their new Vice President of Sales, North America, Eric Widlitz, who is responsible for managing the global sales team while focusing on the growth of Vanderbilt’s North American business. Widlitz will also work with existing channel partners while expanding technology and integration relationships into underserved areas. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Vermont.
