- John Illes, Fulton Bank
and implemented SPLAN visitor management,
which integrated with Lenel's access control.
This allows the Fulton Bank Protection Services
team to monitor all areas of the building
and provides a more streamlined visitor management
process. Employees can now schedule
visits, which lets the onsite security officers
quickly and efficiently provide credentials to
those visitors, keeping with the simplified user
convenience of the MorphoWave readers.
Challenges Conquered,
Expectations Exceeded
In addition to the many safety protocols that
were still in place at the time of this project, the
country was dealing with detrimental supply
chain issues. Due to shifts in product demand,
labor shortages and port congestion, there were
many unforeseen factors that Securitas Technology
had to overcome. However, all timelines
were orchestrated and worked together to ensure
the installation was completed.
" Working with an older structure that was
built in 1929 added additional challenges,
but by quickly understanding and addressing
the needs of Fulton Bank, Securitas Technology
was able to develop a comprehensive
plan, " contends Byerly. " While the installation
process went smoothly and finished on
time, there were a unique set of challenges
that are involved when updating a 90-yearold
building. That included difficult wire
pulls to update some of the access control and
camera systems. "
The Fulton Bank Protection Services team
went through training on the new Lenel access
control system, as well as instruction on
the self-serve safe deposit box solution, to
utilize all aspects of their security system. In
addition, Securitas Technology Fire Safety and
Emergency Preparedness Group provided an
onsite review that included an emergency action
plan for Fulton Bank. This included an
updated floor plan and correct evacuation
routes based on renovations and all new security
solutions that were completed.
" Securitas Technology allowed our headquarters
and financial center to be fully operational
throughout the process without impeding
our business, " says Illes. " The partnership
was very much an open dialogue where Securitas
Technology listened to our wants and
needs and provided their knowledge and
expertise to ensure our facility had a top-ofthe-line
solution. We are so pleased with the
outcome and the flexibility it provides when
all our systems are working together. "
With the positive benefits that have already
been seen with the entire integration, Securitas
Technology is now working on analytics in
the lobby vestibule areas regarding tailgating
and loitering through the Fast Gate 150 turnstiles.
The goal for this is to send an alert to the
main guard center if an employee or visitor
crosses a line while the person in front of them
is still being granted access. This will allow for
greater security to ensure that any unauthorized
individuals are prohibited from entering
the building. SSI
The full security program, including monitoring
support, onsite guarding and security technology
integrations, is deployed across hundreds of
Fulton Bank locations.
