New York, NY, August 21, 2024 – RightCrowd, a leader in physical identity and access management (PIAM), is pleased to announce the release of its Mobile Credential Management feature for RightCrowd SmartAccess. This innovative solution revolutionizes how organizations manage and control access, replacing traditional methods with a more secure, efficient, and cost-effective approach.
As the physical and digital worlds continue to converge, the management of access has evolved. Mobile access is at the forefront of this transformation, offering organizations a streamlined and secure alternative to conventional keys, cards, and fobs. By adopting mobile credentials, companies can enhance their security posture, reduce operational costs, and improve overall efficiency.
“At RightCrowd, we’re committed to providing solutions that not only enhance security but also drive operational excellence. The introduction of Mobile Credential Management for RightCrowd SmartAccess represents a significant step forward in how organizations can control access, reduce costs, and align with sustainability goals,” said Bart Vansevenant. “This feature not only meets the needs of today’s dynamic security landscape but also prepares organizations for the future of access management.”
Key features and benefits of the RightCrowd SmartAccess include:
Physical Card Cost Savings
Eliminating physical access cards leads to substantial cost reductions. Organizations can cut expenses related to card production, distribution, inventory management, and replacement. Transitioning to mobile credentials allows for immediate cost savings and more efficient resource allocation.
System Integration Cost Savings
RightCrowd SmartAccess seamlessly integrates with a multitude of physical access control systems (PACS), minimizing the need for extensive infrastructure upgrades and providing the ability to manage all physical, digital and visitor credentials through one integrated platform. This integration optimizes resource utilization and prevents unnecessary capital expenditures, further contributing to overall cost savings.
Operational Cost Savings
Mobile credentials significantly reduce administrative overhead through automation. Streamlined credential management processes free up resources for higher-value activities, and the reduction in manual tasks associated with physical card management leads to long-term cost savings and improved compliance.
Improved Efficiency
RightCrowd SmartAccess automates credential management, handling tasks such as issuing, tracking, and revoking credentials with speed and accuracy. This automation reduces administrative burdens and accelerates response times, allowing organizations to focus on core operations while enhancing overall agility.
Environmental Benefits
Switching to mobile credentials supports environmental sustainability by eliminating the need for plastic cards and their associated packaging. This shift significantly reduces the organization’s carbon footprint and aligns with corporate responsibility initiatives focused on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles.
Seamless User Experience
Mobile credentials offer unparalleled convenience, allowing users to unlock doors, access secure areas, and perform other functions by simply presenting their smartphone or smartwatch near a reader. This ease of use enhances satisfaction and productivity, while the streamlined process reduces the likelihood of lost or forgotten credentials.
Enhanced Security
Mobile credentials strengthen an organization’s security posture by leveraging the inherent security features of mobile devices, such as encryption and biometric authentication. RightCrowd SmartAccess offers centralized management for real-time monitoring and control of access permissions, ensuring rapid response to potential security threats and the ability to restrict access based on geographic location.
A Future-Proof Investment
By adopting RightCrowd SmartAccess Mobile Credential Management, organizations are not just upgrading their access control systems; they are investing in a future-proof infrastructure that delivers tangible benefits across security, efficiency, and sustainability. This solution represents the next generation of access management, providing the tools needed to stay ahead in an ever-evolving security landscape.
