ith the rise of mobile credentials,
new campus technology and
the ever-present supply chain
challenges, selecting an open, interoperable
access control solution is becoming
increasingly important for campuses across the
nation. Today, integrators have the unique opportunity
to play a critical role in assisting higher
education and security directors in their selection
and design of a campus' access ecosystem.
This ultimately helps the campus play a more
active role in their technology choices, resulting
in a better experience for students, staff and the
administration. Here is an easy guide to follow
when working with campus clients to ensure a
smooth process.
Proprietary Vs. Interoperable

choice as it locks them into leveraging technologies
from a single manufacturer. In this scenario, the
proprietary solution creates leverage and control

have long existed in the industry, the landscape is
evolving to favor open, interoperable solutions.
On the contrary, an interoperable solution
enables various technology systems to communicate
and exchange and interpret information.
A fully interoperable solution works across multiple
manufacturers' product lines as the technology
is built on an industry standard, which
enables more platforms to work with it seamlessly.
For example, with campus cards, interoperability
permits the credential to work with
existing or different software, hardware and applications
across campus.
