Access control from anywhere

ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions offers hardware, mechanical and electrical locks and access control installations, upgrades and maintenance.

Incedo Business Cloud is an Access-Control-as-a-Service (ACaaS) solution created for businesses on the move where security managers can stay in control at any time and at any place. The back-end infrastructure management is supported by a secure business cloud host where data is kept safe by up-to-date software.

“Over a third of companies now use cloud-based management to power access control”, says Hayley Elwen, commercial director at ASSA ABLOY. Incedo’s ACaaS solution clearly demonstrates the cost, time and flexibility advantages over traditional, on-premises management.

“An Incedo ACaaS subscription includes unlimited flexibility to scale up or down. Migration between local and cloud management is always seamless, in either direction, so end-users can stay nimble. Your business is not static, so there is no reason why your access control should be.”

Controlling costs, in addition to building access

For experienced cloud managers or those who are new to software-as-a-service solutions, Incedo’s ACaaS offers an innovative solution to a common challenge: how to make security budgets stretch further; to do more without spending more.

Using the new Incedo solution makes budgeting more predictable and removes the need to buy servers or hire in-house IT support teams. Managers know ahead of time how much resource to allocate and can scale up or down instantly.

Because ASSA ABLOY’s servers automatically upgrade to the latest version of all Incedo software, ACaaS subscribers benefit from enhanced cybersecurity without spending time downloading and installing releases or patches; another reason why, according to one Deloitte consultant, “clouds are more secure than traditional IT systems”. Data protection and backup, plus round-the-clock support, work to help businesses improve the safety of their sites.

Incedo moves with you

Incedo Business Cloud solves many pressing challenges of managing access at any size or type of organisation. Managers no longer need to be on-site to handle day-to-day security in real-time: The Incedo Business Cloud interface can be accessed securely 24/7 from anywhere with an Internet connection.

Incedo’s modular, platform approach makes access control procurement and operation simpler. To build their own customised solution, managers choose the security hardware and credentials they need.

A choice of card and token credentials – or secure mobile keys on a smartphone – enables users to access and move around their premises conveniently.
