Pacom access control system to expand further at Northumbria University
Leeds, North Yorkshire
The solution has been so well received that there are further plans for expansion. The future is likely to see the system being used as an electronic payment system (e-purse) for purchases made on campus, and for student lecture attendance and record keeping.
Carol Thompson is the Service Manager at Northumbria University and this is what she has to say about the solution:
"We are extremely impressed with the robustness of the Pacom system and its ability to handle the heavy traffic we experience, particularly during enrolment, without any detrimental impact on the University’s network. It is also an extremely flexible system allowing us to easily control access to all areas from those of high security, such as machine rooms, to areas where most users can have access at varying times, including 24 x 7 access to some buildings. It has proved to be a cost-effective system to manage and I have immediate access to reports and statistics when required".
