The Challenge for Providence Regional Medical Center Everett
After many years of successful operation, the access control hardware at PRMCE had started to fail. The central access control server was having trouble communicating with the access control points. Occasionally some would disappear from the system entirely. At other times, communication with the points would experience intermittent problems.
PRMCE came to the decision that to fix this problem they would need to replace the faulty equipment with a new system, but was concerned about fitting the expense of retrofitting the system within the existing budget. PRMCE decided to replace the system components over several phased budget cycles.

St. Joseph Hospital's Challenge
St. Joseph Hospital contacted ASG because of issues they were having with their preexisting access control system. The preexisting system wasn’t fully functional and used outdated magnetic stripe cards rather than the more efficient proximity badges. The Hospital wanted ASG to correct the problems and transition to the more efficient technology.

Southwest Washington Medical Center's Challenge
Running a hospital is an exercise in extreme multitasking. You must provide excellent medical care around the clock, meet the ever-increasing needs of the patients, recruit and retain the best professionals, follow intricate regulatory and legal requirements, keep up with a knowledge and technology base that changes as fast or faster than any other business, and deal with the pressures of competition, cost containment, and third party oversight in everything you do.
No problem.
That’s why Southwest Washington Medical Center (SWWMC), one of the Top 100 Hospitals in the country, approached ASG with the challenge of applying technology to their patient care approach in order to provide increased flexibility and efficiency to their nursing staff.

Seattle Children's Hospital's Challenge
Childrens’ legacy access control system was originally deployed to replace a barcode technology that had been used at parking gate locations. The system was made up of proprietary hardware, firmware, and software and used for photo identification and building/office access for staff, vendors, and contractors.
During an in-depth audit of this security system, Children’s performed an Organizational Alignment Analysis as well as a Security Analysis of the system. This analysis rated the system on a scale of 1-5, where 1 represented the system “strongly does not meet” and 5 represented the system “exceeds” the current needs of the organization. This audit found that the legacy system “strongly does not meet” any of the organization’s current or future needs.
Children’s legacy security system would often malfunction, causing doors to fail to open or leaving critical areas unsecured. Children’s realized that their current system would not only offer no assistance to attaining the organization’s goals, but would in fact create an environment where it would be impossible to achieve them.
