Learning About Visitor Management Solutions

EasyLobby recently authored an article in the November 2011 issue of industry publication Security Sales & Integration titled "Round Our Your Line With Visitor Management."

It's sort of a 'how to article' for security dealers and integrators who might not currently be carrying visitor systems as part of their product line.

Here are a few quotes from the article.

"The fact is, providing a visitor management system in your product line can add a great deal of value and complement existing security products.

"Although a paper guest book for guest sign in may be considered quick and easy, it is fraught with a number of security problems and diminishes the professionalism of an organization.

"To address these issues, security dealers and integrators are able to fill a need by recommending and in some cases administrating, visitor software for their clients.

"Dealers and integrators must consider the integration of any security system with other systems and how they operate in concert. That's where a professional visitor system comes into play.

"The integration of visitor registration software with electronic access control allows a lobby attendant to easily and safely provide temporary proximity credentials to visitors rather than doing so through the access control system. This simplifies the process and allows someone unfamiliar with the access system to provide temporary card privileges to visitors.

"Access control and visitor registration integration allows appropriate visitors to move freely through facilities without the need of an employee escort. The information entered into the lobby system during visitor check-in is seamlessly passed to the access control system.

"Screening unwanted visitors from a facility is also one of the functions of visitor tracking software. By creating watch lists in the electronic visitor management system, a lobby attendant or security officer will be alerted within seconds when someone on the list tries to enter the facility at a visitor check-in station.

"Although lobby attendants are often used to check in visitors with badge ID software, visitor self-registration is also an option. Either a freestanding kiosk or the use of an iPad or tablet computer can be used to allow guests to register themselves by completing required fields, much like the self-check-in employed at most airlines today.

"The good thing about visitor management software is that it is appropriate for just about every environment, from small to large."
