Use cases
A global IT customer implemented Convergint’s data bridge solution which acts as a vital tool facilitating seamless integration and automation across various systems within the organisation. Specifically:
1. Within the HR system, new employee entries trigger automatic synchronisation with the customer’s Lenel OnGuard access control system, so badges are promptly assigned based on predefined protocols. Conversely, when employees resign, they are automatically deactivated in Lenel for swift security updates.
2. The payroll system efficiently retrieves access events at regular intervals, maintaining up-to-date attendance records for payroll management.
3. The alarm system consolidates all events and alarms, streamlining unified management for enhanced security protocols.
4. Within the office automation (OA) system, staff enjoy streamlined processes for badge borrowing and return. Temporary badges are automatically assigned with corresponding access levels, mirroring those of their active counterparts. Upon return, these temporary badges are deleted from the Lenel OnGuard system, while the original badges seamlessly revert to an active status, ensuring continuity and security throughout the organisation.
Through this interconnected ecosystem, the data bridge solution optimises efficiency and security, enabling smoother operations across diverse systems.
For a leading financial customer, the data bridge solution acts as a centralised integration platform, connecting distinct systems across the organisation for streamlined operations. Within this framework:
1. The HR system seamlessly synchronises new employee entries with the customer’s Gallagher access control system, facilitating automatic access provisioning, while promptly deactivating resigned employees to uphold security protocols.
2. The OA system empowers staff to request access group changes through their corporate app, with approvals triggering automatic assignment in Gallagher to ensure swift and accurate access management.
3. Loss of access cards triggers automatic account lockouts within the canteen system, bolstering security measures.
4. The time and attendance system ensures real-time attendance data by uploading access events every 5 minutes, aiding in efficient workforce management.
5. The visitor management system is able to automatically issue temporary access cards with dynamically assigned privileges upon completion of the check-in process on self-service kiosks for smooth visitor access.
Through seamless integration and automation, the data bridge solution optimises operational efficiency, strengthens security measures, and fosters data accuracy organisation-wide.
A famous university campus deployed Convergint’s data bridge solution to serve as a pivotal integration hub, seamlessly connecting various systems to enhance operational efficiency and security. Results were delivered by:
1. Data exchange between the access control system and visitor management system ensures a smooth visitor experience. Upon completion of the visitor check-in process via self-service kiosks, access QR codes are automatically generated on visitor labels with dynamically assigned access levels, allowing smooth passage through turn gates.
2. In the sports centre and library system, staff and students applying for access are automatically assigned relevant access levels, ensuring seamless entry.
3. Room reservations via the meeting room system trigger automatic assignment of access levels in corresponding access control systems, such as Lenel OnGuard and Salto, streamlining room access for staff members.
4. Salto access card numbers stored in the Lenel OnGuard system are synchronised, ensuring consistency across platforms and enabling automatic access provisioning for cardholders with Salto access.
Through seamless integration and automation, the data bridge solution optimises access control processes, improves user experience, and enhances overall security measures across the university.
