How to Comply with State and Federal Regulations Using EasyLobby Visitor Registration Software

Wednesday, July 21, 2010 by John Murzycki

EasyLobby visitor control software can help certain organizations comply with specific state and federal regulation.

While organizations use EasyLobby visitor management techniques to provide better visitor security and help how they are managing visitors to their buildings, some organizations must also be concerned with accounting for all visitors who enter their facilities as per various regulations.

Organizations in the food and beverage industry, utilities and many schools, hospitals and government agencies must guard against unwanted visitors.

EasyLobby's visitor registration system helps these organizations by allowing them to know exactly who has entered their facilities and the reasons why.

Organizations in the food and beverage industry must comply with a regulation under the Bio Terrorism Act requiring them to be aware of every visitor who comes in and out of their facilities.

Our visitor registration software allows them to account for all visitors and make that information readily available if necessary. Read our blog about how EasyLobby improves visitor management security at food and distribution companies, and our success story about a National Food Distributor.

Electric utilities also have specific regulations for heightened visitor security at generating facilities. Many of the largest utilities in the country use EasyLobby visitor management solutions to help them comply with their requirements to provide secure visitor management in their facilities.

Read our blog on visitor management solutions at electric utilities.

"Red Flags Rule" is another regulation that applies to a broad spectrum of industries. This rule is part of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003, and it requires businesses to be on the lookout for signs that someone is using another's identity to get products or services with no intention of paying. Read our blog on the Red Flags Rule to see how visitor control software can help.

Schools, hospitals and government agencies often have requirements to guard against visitors who are on the National Sex Offender Database or the Government Denied Parties list. EasyLobby visitor management system alerts them to individuals on either list seconds after visitor sign in.

Read how EasyLobby's school visitor management helps educational institutions and how EasyLobby helps government agencies identify visitors on terrorist watch lists and other government watch lists.

Discover now EasyLobby visitor registration software can help your organization comply with these regulations, or simply help you to manage visitors in a more professional way.

Schools Use EasyLobby Visitor Registration Software

Wednesday, July 7, 2010 by John Murzycki

There's a reason why so many public and private K-12 schools use EasyLobby visitor management solutions in their facilities.

As one of the easiest and most economical ways for a school to dramatically improve overall visitor security, EasyLobby is the primary choice for a professional visitor registration system.

School administrators understand that in today's world they must pay attention to the process of managing visitors and having a secure visitor management system in place.

This includes Watch Lists such as the National Sex Offender Database that will alert lobby attendants and administrators when someone on this list tries to check into the building. EasyLobby's visitor monitoring software can display results within seconds when a match occurs.

At most schools visitors are now required to wear a school visitor badge and to verify their identity during visitor sign in with a license or other photo ID.

School visitor software such as EasyLobby is tailored to the needs of K-12 schools, including these features:

To expedite visitor check in and out during busy morning and end-of-school-day times, barcodes can be printed on visitor id badges. The barcode on the badges can be scanned to log visitors in or out of the school.
Track the hours of school volunteers and other helpers, as well as contractors working at the school, by badging them at an EasyLobby station.
By scanning student ID cards, administrators can track students leaving the building during the day for lunch breaks, free periods, or field trips.

Badge Maker Software Lets You Customize Visitor ID Badges

Thursday, May 27, 2010 by John Murzycki

EasyLobby's visitor registration software provides you with the flexibility of designing custom visitor ID badges.

Because visitor badges are the most visible aspect of your visitor management system, care should be taken to design badges that fit your specific requirements.

EasyLobby's visitor badge software lets you customize the layout to include any visitor information that you capture during visitor sign in. The freestyle tool in our visitor monitoring software allows you to put information anywhere on the badge in any style and format that you choose.

You can create different security visitor badges with unique designs for different categories of visitors. For example, a school visitor badge can be designed for parents, another for volunteers, and another for contractors.

Another option, especially helpful for lobby management in a busy facility, is to include a barcode on each visitor badge. This allows the lobby attendant to quickly scan the badge at checkout to automatically check out the visitor.

Our visitor registration system gives you the ability to include color on badges so that you can use a different color scheme each day of the week, allowing you to easily identify whether a visitor's badge has been issued that day.

Use Visitor ID Badges That Are Right for Your Organization

Friday, March 12, 2010 by John Murzycki

Customers using our visitor registration software often ask us what information is best to include on visitor ID badges.

Although there are common elements that many organizations use, we typically recommend that the needs of the organization dictate what they put on visitor badges.

For example, this school visitor badge is designed for visiting parents. It clearly identifies the category of visitor as well as the date and time of visitor sign in.

Using a photo of the visitor is also a good idea. It clearly identifies that the badge belongs to that visitor. You can capture the visitor's photo either by scanning their license, passport, or by taking a photo with a web cam.

Visitor monitoring software from Easylobby gives you the flexibility to design security visitor badges that look professional and include exactly the type of information most useful to you.

For instance, if you are managing visitors in a busy lobby, you might want to include a barcode on each visitor badge. This will allow the lobby attendant to quickly scan the badge to automatically check out the guest.

Our visitor registration system gives you the ability to include dynamic color on badges so that you can establish a different color scheme for each day of the week - allowing you to easily identify the day the guest has been checked in.

We even provide self-expiring badges that bleed through a red 'Stop' symbol after 24 hours so that you know the badge has expired.

Visitor Management Techniques that Improve Security

Monday, February 22, 2010 by John Murzycki

Organizations that are serious about improving security in their facilities will use a visitor registration system to monitor everyone entering their buildings.

Here are a few techniques from EasyLobby, the leader in Secure Visitor Management, that will help how you are managing visitors and improving visitor security in your facilities.

Consider using Alerts to identify action that should be taken when a guest has arrived or during visitor sign in. Alerts can be set to a variety of parameters, including frequency of check in, time-based, maximum number of visitors, and other conditions.

Improve your lobby security with Watch Lists to identify people listed on the National Sex Offender Database or the Government Denied Database - often used with school visitor software or in government installations.

Color code visitor ID badges to quickly identify different categories of visitors or to identify the day the badges were issued.

Restrict access to secure areas of your building with EasyLobby Satellite.™

Include a photo of the visitor on security visitor badges, scanned from a license or taken by a web cam.

Produce reports and analyze visitor data to determine if there are trends that will allow you to operate more effectively.

EasyLobby's visitor management system can perform these tasks, plus many others.

Managing Visitors with an Unattended Kiosk in K-12 Schools

Wednesday, February 17, 2010 by John Murzycki

Over the last year or so we have received a number of inquiries from K-12 schools interested in using a kiosk-based unattended visitor registration system for visitor security.

While many of EasyLobby's customers use a kiosk in an unattended lobby for visitor management security - and have excellent results - we believe that an unattended visitor management system in a K-12 school is not the safest process of protecting children.

Many schools initially may be interested in the idea of using an automated, self-service method for their visitor management solutions, especially when they are understaffed with everyone busy doing multiple jobs.

Having visitors self register and create their own visitor ID badges is appealing.

But the fact is, the use of a kiosk with visitor registration software as a solution to visitor sign in at K-12 schools could add risk rather than reduce it.

If visitors are simply directed to a kiosk to sign in, there is no chance to notice if someone looks ill-at-ease, out of place, or is behaving nervously or suspiciously.

Also, while a kiosk can be set-up to screen each visitor against sex offender registries, it is too easy for a registered offender to use another person's license or to enter a different name to avoid getting flagged. This can be avoided with an attendant verifying that the picture on the license matches the visitor.

Anyone entering a K-12 school should have a purpose for visiting, which should be verified by a person greeting them in the lobby and then authenticating their identity by scanning their license.

EasyLobby Secure Visitor Management is the world's most widely used visitor monitoring software. It's in use at thousands of facilities, including many K-12 schools.

Schools Depend on EasyLobby for Visitor Management Security

Friday, February 12, 2010 by John Murzycki

There's a reason why schools use EasyLobby Secure Visitor Management to protect their students, teachers and administrators.

EasyLobby's visitor management system is one of the easiest and most economical ways for a school to dramatically improve overall visitor security.

In today's world all schools need to be concerned about how they are managing visitors to their facilities. Nobody should ever be allowed in a school without first properly verifying their identity. All visitors should be required to wear a school visitor badge.

An important requirement for school visitor software is the ability of the system to alert lobby attendants to visitors who are on the National Sex Offender Database. EasyLobby's visitor registration system can display results within seconds when a match occurs.

Other school visitor software features of interest to schools include:

The ability to print permanent bar coded visitor ID badges for parents and caretakers to expedite dropping off and picking up students. The barcode on their badge can be scanned to log them in or out of the school, expediting visitor sign in.
The ability to automatically track the hours of school volunteers and other helpers, as well as contractors by badging them in at an EasyLobby station.
By scanning student ID cards, administrators can monitor students allowed to leave school grounds during the day for activities.
Administrators are also able to track and monitor students going on a field trip using mobile visitor monitoring software.

Thursday, February 11, 2010 by John Murzycki

If you are still using a paper book for visitor sign in, you are missing out on a host of features that will help you improve visitor security and enhance how you are managing visitors to your lobby and other entry points.

EasyLobby visitor monitoring software will let you know who is in your facilities at all times and the purpose of their visit. It will alert your lobby attendants to those people you do not want in your facilities so that they can take appropriate action to deny entry.

For example, you may want to be alerted to visitors on the National Sex Offender Database - a feature used extensively in school visitor software. If you are a government or military installation, you may want to be alerted to visitors on the Government Denied Party Screening Service Database.

EasyLobby is integrated with over 30 of the leading access control systems, which means that you can provide card access to visitors from your visitor registration system when the visitor checks in.

Our visitor control software makes it easy to check in guests. Our system allows you to automatically scan their license or business card and issue customized visitor ID badges, all within 20 seconds per visitor.

Lobby management of visitors is simplified when employees are able to pre-register guests. EasyLobby offers this capability.

Easy-To-Use Visitor Management Techniques

Tuesday, February 9, 2010 by John Murzycki

EasyLobby simplifies your visitor management solutions.

Ease-of-use is a major consideration of our visitor registration software. During visitor sign in, a lobby attendant can quickly register a guest without going through a lot of complicated steps.

Managing visitors at your facilities can be efficient and professional with EasyLobby because the lobby attendant can automatically capture information about the identity of the visitor by scanning their driver's license, business card, passport or other form of identification.

You can create customized visitor ID badges that display exactly the information you want, including the photo of the visitor scanned from their driver's license or taken with a webcam.

While easy-to-use, you also want to have the flexibility of capturing visitor information that is specific to your environment. For example, you may want to know if a visitor has signed a non-disclosure agreement, viewed a safety video, or any other number of details that are specific to your business.

EasyLobby visitor monitoring software allows you to tailor the system to your requirements.

Creating Watch Lists are an important feature of our visitor control software that alerts you to either unwanted visitors or VIP guests, allowing you to take appropriate action.

You may also want to be alerted to visitors who are on the National Sex Offender Database - a feature often used with our school visitor software. Likewise, for government installations you may want to be alerted to visitors on the Government Denied Party databases.

Some of our customers want visitors to be pre-registered by the employees expecting the visitor. This automatically notifies the lobby attendant about the expected guests, and even lets the attendant pre-print badges that are ready when the guests arrive.

All these items will greatly enhance your visitor management security. For more information how EasyLobby Secure Visitor Management can help you, register for a free, no-obligation online web conference.

In about 30 minutes we will explain the features of our visitor management system that can most help how you manage visitors.

The Best Features in a Visitor Management System

Friday, January 29, 2010 by John Murzycki

People often ask us what we think are the best features to have in a visitor management system.

Our answer is: "It depends on your priorities for visitor security and how you wish to be managing visitors at your environment."

For example, colleges, universities and K-12 schools have unique concerns about screening out potential guests who are on the National Sex Offender Database Registry. Our visitor monitoring software for schools allows them to identify and deny entry to anyone on this Registry.

Likewise, government installations often want their visitor registration software to be able to automatically identify people on the Government Denied Database.

Hospitals want to integrate with a number of systems that are specific to their environment, such as Status Blue, which allows them to pre-register approved vendors, and HL7 for real-time patient feeds. Many hospitals also want to incorporate alerts on maximum number of visitors per patients.

Organizations with unattended lobbies want to operate their visitor registration system in a Kiosk mode so that visitors can self-register.

Many organizations want their employees to pre-register all guests who are scheduled to arrive.

Some organizations want to monitor time and attendance of contractors to be sure they are onsite the hours they claimed.

Some organizations have areas within the facility that have higher security concerns. In these cases they want to limit visitors from entering those areas, or at least determine which visitors can enter.

Other organizations want their visitor registration system to integrate with their access control system to provide security visitor badges that work with their access system.

EasyLobby provides all these features plus many others. To find out more, register for a free, no-obligation online web conference.

In about 30 minutes we will guide you through the visitor management techniques that are most appropriate for your organization.

Ballston Spa Central School District Uses EasyLobby for Secure Visitor Management

Wednesday, January 20, 2010 by John Murzycki

Located 25 miles north of the state capital Albany, the Ballston Spa Central School District began a search for a professional visitor registration system to better understand and manage visitors to their schools.

The District conducted several demos of school visitor software, and after careful evaluation selected EasyLobby visitor monitoring software.

"The EasyLobby interface is very self-explanatory, and product features such as the ability to change the layout of visitor ID badges are very helpful," said Edwin Martin, the Coordinator of Facilities and Security for the School District.

Of particular interest to the District was customizing visitor ID badges for different categories of visitors. The District now conducts all visitor sign in by requesting and scanning photo ID's, usually a driver's license.

"From a security perspective, we now can reliably track everyone who visits, from arrival to departure," said Martin. "From a facilities perspective, we're now able to verify the arrival and departure time of all outside contractors to ensure that they are on the job as specified."

Martin continued, "Overall, the implementation of EasyLobby visitor monitoring software has been beneficial to the School District by providing administrators with the information needed to understand and manage visitors to our buildings."

The use of sex offender screening in the visitor registration software has reassured staff and parents that proper controls are in place to monitor all visitors.

Dr. Joseph Dragone, Superintendent of Schools for the Ballston Spa Central School District said, "EasyLobby visitor management techniques have been well received by our community, especially parents who feel reassured that the District is taking visitor security seriously."

Organizations that are a good fit for visitor monitoring software.

Thursday, January 7, 2010 by John Murzycki

EasyLobby customers using our visitor registration software span a wide variety of organizations.

Customers that use our visitor management solutions have a positive attitude of respect for the guests who visit their facilities and a high regard for the safety of both visitors and employees.

Organizations that respect guests treat them in a professional manner, unlike those organizations that haphazardly hand visitors a generic stick-on badge and have them sign a log-in book.

A respect for visitors includes treating them in a way that says they are important. That begins when they first enter a facility and are greeted by a lobby attendant using visitor control software to produce professional, customizable visitor ID badges.

It also says the organization is conscious of visitor security and is taking steps to protect guests and employees from unwanted visitors.

If your organization has a high regard for visitors and employees, you are a good candidate for EasyLobby's visitor management system. It's extremely easy to use and also contains many different features that allow you to customize it to fit how you are managing visitors in your environment.

Colleges and Universities Depend on EasyLobby Visitor Control Software

Tuesday, January 5, 2010 by John Murzycki

EasyLobby visitor registration software is used at these and many other colleges and universities.

We help protect students, faculty and administrators by monitoring who is visiting school facilities.

College campuses have unique considerations when dealing with visitor management solutions. Most campuses are open environments and have many people entering and leaving a variety of different buildings such as student housing and dormitories, libraries, classrooms, fitness centers, student activity facilities, and administrative offices.

Protecting these environments requires making them secure as well as ensuring the flow of individuals in and out of the various facilities.

Visitor security at colleges starts with knowing who is visiting campus facilities. This can be accomplished using a professional visitor registration system to monitor and control exactly who is entering a facility.

All visitors to a campus should be required to wear a school visitor badge that is issued when they are logged in by the visitor monitoring software. Students of the college should also be treated as visitors when they request access to a dormitory that they do not live in.

School visitor software such as EasyLobby Secure Visitor Management should be capable of accessing the national sex-offender watch list at the time of visitor sign in. The school can then develop a strict policy about how to treat visitors on this, or other watch lists.

To learn more about our visitor management system for college and university campuses, register for a free, no-obligation online web conference. In about 30 minutes we will show you how to improve visitor management security at your college.

Choosing the Best Visitor Registration Software for Your Needs

Monday, December 7, 2009 by John Murzycki

Secure visitor management has become a requirement for both large and small organizations. Visitor management solutions are now used extensively at hospitals, universities and elementary and secondary schools.

But choosing the right visitor monitoring software for your environment is not always a simple task.

Deciding on the best visitor registration system means choosing a solution with the lowest cost of ownership and one that meets both your current and future needs.

If a vendor does not provide a solution with proven technology, backed with an outstanding track record of service, it probably isn't your best choice.

There is also little benefit depending on a vendor who hasn't been around for years, with many happy and loyal clients that speak to their abilities and values

Only satisfied customers, who have been customers for many years, will be able to speak to the attributes of an established vendor with impeccable service, technology leadership, and the ability to deliver product enhancements that meet the needs of different environments.

EasyLobby's visitor management security solutions are widely regarded as the best in the industry. In business for over 12 years, we have thousands of satisfied customers around the world. Our visitor management system is extremely feature-rich so that you can tailor it to your specific requirements.

Yet it is also easy to use with little or no training necessary.

Visitor security should be a top priority for any organization. EasyLobby can address your requirements for visitor control software and the creation of professional visitor ID badges.

Printing Speed vs Picture Quality During Visitor Sign In

Friday, December 4, 2009 by Morgan Jassen

Your organization already knows whether a quick checkin is most important, or whether a colorful, clear Visitor ID Badge is top priority. Maybe you are a busy lobby where you just need to print out Visitor ID Badges quickly. Or maybe you are a school and you need a quality School Visitor Badge that will be issued for an entire semester. A Visitor Badge Software like EasyLobby will be customizable to cater to printing speed, picture quality or a combination of both.

Here is how Visitor Badge Software can handle the different situations:

Speed: For a grayscale or black and white Visitor ID Badge, choose a thermal label printer
Quality:For a color badge, choose a color inkjet printer

Speed: For a fast photo capture without any extra mouse clicks, let the license scanner capture the photo from the visitor's driver's license
Quality:For a fresh, well-lit visitor photo, capture the visitor's photo on arrival with a webcam

Speed: Just have text on the Visitor ID Badge; it will print more quickly
Quality:Make the visitor photo large and prominent on the Visitor ID Badge, and include catchy graphics

A combination of both: Let the Visitor ID Badge be black and white for quicker printing, but have a high quality, crisp visitor photo.
A combination of both: Leave out the images for quicker printing, but have color background and text that looks great.

These are just a few tips. Depending on the printer and badge template, there are countless possibilities. You already know whether you want speed or quality. Now you know how to implement it.
