Traditional access control systems rely on operators to issue credentials
and authorize access. But how can a small number of personnel be
expected to know the access rights of every employee or visitor?
When proof of training is required for specific areas, operators will typically
need to contact an area owner or supervisor for confirmation or sift through
their emails to find the approval. This manual approach is invariably delayed
when supervisors are in a meeting or on vacation. As an organization grows,
this method necessitates more operators to deal with greater numbers of
cardholders and areas.
Organizations often address the problem of an overloaded or overworked
team by hiring more personnel, but this only masks the underlying
inefficiency of a manual system. By automating access rights management
and reducing bottlenecks, ClearID ensures that employees and visitors have
met all corporate requirements before providing access to an area. That
means the management of day-to-day access requests, compliance, and
policy updates is significantly improved. Operators become more efficient
and direct their focus to high-risk, mission-critical work.
