With USI’s constant growth through new acquisitions, the integrator partner and access control platform it chose will surely al-low the company to continue managing its security and credentialing on a highly scalable enterprise level. “This is an ongoing effort for us,” Porreca says. “We are always growing. So as we add more locations, we are bringing them onboard to the managed system. We no longer have to rely on someone locally to manage the systems. It’s a lot more flexible for us.”
And, if unifying access across its expansive U.S. footprint isn’t enough, USI has two more items to add to its agenda. The company has plans to centralize its current video surveillance, which includes a few disparate systems at a handful of locations, into one centralized system. “We also want to look into issuing photo ID cards to give all of our employees a visual identifier. A lot of people travel and not everyone is familiar with everyone else, so we want to manage that better,” Porreca says.
With Security-Net and its partners in place, USI is in good hands as it braces for an integrated future. “We’ve only touched the surface,” says Porreca of the possibilities.
