Get it Right! - Delivering Security Information to the Right Place at the Right Time and to the Right People

 

By Ron Worman, The Sage Group 

One of the main themes of ‘The Great Conversation' is the critical role security plays within the mission and goals of an organization. Creating a highly efficient way to reach into the organization and deliver on that value requires the ability to bridge physical security systems with enterprise systems.

If this can be done, there is an opportunity to impact costs and drive value in such areas as human resources, fatigue management, time and attendance processing, exception management, and workforce compliance issues relating to regulatory issues in key markets. Not to mention shaving time and resource costs from the security budget as well.

Enter RightCrowd: creating world-class, software products that add functional enhancements to existing physical access control systems and converge the physical security silo into the Enterprise, through out-of-the-box integration into ERP systems, such as SAP. RightCrowd products enable corporations to automate many physical security and compliance-related business processes.

With Security Process Optimization becoming a key focus for organizations, creating a partnership with integrators and software companies like RightCrowd to help with stakeholder assessments becomes essential. CIOs, Human Resource Officers and Risk Management Executives can receive tremendous value from an integrated approach using  tools like RightCrowd's SureSite suite of products.

How can security executives determine if they are a candidate for this approach? According to RightCrowd's General Manager, Darren Bain, security executives can look to the following as a guideline:

• Large Cardholder population
• Qualifications around site entry needing to be enforced
• Unify identities across Human Resources and Physical Security
• Regulatory Compliance and Safety issues are mandated and must be managed through the work force
• A need to streamline security processes in line with a organizational imperative to do this across all business lines
• Contractor Management is needed

According to Bain, the over-arching value proposition is the desire to drive end-to-end automation of business processes by leveraging their current investments in HR and Security.

"This in turn drives safety and compliance and reduces cost through notifications, automation, visibility and distribution of effort", said Bain. "By automating business processes around access, the organization now has the time, communication, visibility and empowerment to be able to measure their activities and realize business improvement goals."
