7 reasons why you want controller and software to be developed together

There are (at least) 7 good reasons to choose an access control solution where the intelligent controllers are developed together with the software platform.

There are (at least) 7 good reasons to choose an access control solution where the intelligent controllers are developed together with the software platform.

  1. Integrations such as OSDP, OPC, Modbus, HI-O, ... all happen at the controller level. So there is no delay in development between the controller and the software. There are also no limitations in future-proof developments.
  2. You are assured of harmonious operation between controller and software if the intelligent controller itself is developed by the software manufacturer. All functionalities of controller and software are thus also fully utilised.
  3. With new technologies, trends or cabling models, there is the freedom to develop new controllers that work perfectly with the existing controllers. You are not dependent on unknown or other parties for this.
  4. You are independent of third-party vulnerabilities because you have full control over the end-to-end secure solution. So there is in-house vulnerability management, including for the hardware and embedded software.
  5. You have full control over lifecycle management: our controllers have been backwards compatible for 15 years because of this. So you don't get problems with different firmware versions of the controller as is often the case with third-party controllers.
  6. The access controller manufacturer retains control over the product's quality, design, development process and updates.
  7. The manufacturer has full control over the supply chain, which means deliveries can always run smoothly and you are not dependent on long delivery times or unavailability.
