Challenges

Managing Physical and Digital Access in a Complex World

Organizations today manage a growing web of physical access control (PAC) and digital access systems—from building entry and parking garages to IT networks, workstations and sensitive data. The fragmentation of credentials, technologies and platforms creates inefficiencies, security risks and a poor user experience. Employees, contractors and visitors may juggle multiple badges, fobs and passwords, while IT and security teams struggle to enforce consistent policies across disparate systems.

As businesses embrace hybrid work, shared spaces and digital transformation, the need for a unified physical and digital access solution has never been greater. Without it, organizations face rising administrative costs, security vulnerabilities and frustrated users. The challenge is clear: how can businesses break down silos and create a streamlined, secure and future-ready access ecosystem?
