Digitalization is reshaping how we live and work. In building management, connected digital access is becoming fundamental to smarter, more efficient operations.
By digitalizing access, organizations of every size and type streamline workloads, collaborate better and maximize the productivity of all their existing assets*. Digital access provides a concrete ROI that a business can turn into a competitive advantage.
“The building has an increasingly digital future,” says Murtaza Husaini, Business Development Director & Head of Commercial Security Solutions at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions Middle East. ”It is now crucial for all kinds of organizations to make their access ready for what’s ahead.”
“By leaning on the expertise and experience of ASSA ABLOY, they can digitalize with confidence.”
Digital with Confidence: the everyday benefits of digitalizing access
In a world of emerging and evolving threats, physical security should never be taken for granted. Building users and managers need the reassurance of secure access to work productively. As security converges, moving beyond traditional physical and cyber ‘siloes’, the right digital access solution enables building management teams to define and audit exactly who goes where, and when.
To digitalize effectively, robust, reliable hardware and secure software can minimize maintenance needs. Identifying relevant, forward-looking third-party certifications, including for green building schemes, whether for digital locks, electronic door closing solutions or for access provision compliance at sensitive locations, are also key to specification decision-making.
Choosing a digital solution manufacturer with a track record of innovation gives organizations confidence that their solution will always prepare them for what’s ahead – not just “the now”. Genuinely future-proofed solutions embrace digital openness and customizability.
Convenience is king: the most recent Wireless Access Control Report** found it to be the biggest factor driving the switch to mobile and digital access. When employees, contractors and visitors come-and-go with ease, building operations are streamlined.
Of course, a sustainability ethos must also be embedded within any future-proof digital solution. Incorporating sustainability into an access strategy also directly benefits the bottom line. Both the organization and the environment gain when power consumption is reduced by using digital innovations such as energy-harvesting technology, for example.
