Access control is no longer the wild west. Many businesses used to install and maintain access control software on a local computers, but there’s a better way. Local systems can be more expensive, require more maintenance, and decrease the level of security for a business.
With a cloud-based system the access control platform, database and control panel are all hosted online, removing the need for on-site software and extra hardware. In a cloud-based model, users can access their control panel anywhere with an internet connection.
Many providers have a full suite of mobile and web apps to increase the ease of access management. Companies like Linear are even creating cash rewards to trade in outdated systems and migrate to the cloud.
