Managing visitor access is historically time-consuming, costly and error-prone, potentially compromising security. Receptionists who are reliant on logbook-based visitor management systems can become overloaded and miss vital steps when receiving a sudden influx of visitors. And while many computer-based visitor management systems have automated most tasks, their inability to integrate with a site's existing security management system leaves potential security gaps.
Gallagher's Visitor Management module is a highly configurable, secure, and easy-to-use solution. It uses client-server architecture for the Gallagher system, allowing the Gallagher server to communicate with Visitor Management smart clients via network services over TCP/IP.
Advantages of a network services-based architecture include:
- Improved client-server connectivity on modern corporate IT networks
- Encrypted communications between the client-server
- Easier connectivity through corporate firewalls
- One click client deployment: users can install the application via email containing a one click URL
- Automatic application updates.
