With a constant through flow of employees and visitors and housing a wealth of valuable equipment and corporate information and records, commercial offices carry with them a high security risk.
The challenge is how to balance the safety and security of staff and protect all property and resources without restricting the freedom of movement as people go about their daily business.
Even with the most sophisticated PC system, without good access control equipment customer records and documents, not to mention valuable IT equipment can be the target for theft or malicious damage, not just from unwanted visitors but sometimes from employees themselves.
Within many offices we are now supplying a fully networked solution whereby security can be monitored and controlled centrally. Our access control products are being integrated with CCTV, intruder, parking management and fire detection equipment to provide a complete security solution.
Greater flexibility in the working patterns of office staff also now necessitates more effective time management control and reporting. Our sophisticated, electronic time and attendance systems, once the preserve of factory workers, are now being increasingly used by more and more white collar office workers.
