What are the benefits of SaaS for access control (or Access Control as a Service)?

Legacy Access Control systems typically require users to pay large upfront sums for hardware and implementation of EACS (Electronic Access Control Systems). Access Control as a Service is a modern solution that solves Access Control problems through a SaaS (Software as a Service) model. What this means is the Access Control system utilizes software that is connected to the cloud that requires a much lower upfront cost. This allows users to select and pay for exactly what features of the system they will actually need and use while receiving a product that evolves with changing security needs of their business.

Benefits include system flexibility and scalability, mobile conveniences, instant access to data and integrations with other systems you use every day. You also have easier access to technical support, reliable system maintenance and can minimize IT and server-related costs.

As a business continues to grow, its facility security and access requirements will likely evolve over time as well. By utilizing ACaaS, users can make dynamic changes to their EACS system without having to deploy new hardware.
