One of the reasons there has been significant growth over recent years in the deployment of enterprise level access control systems is that advances in technology have enabled the delivery of significant benefits over and above just providing access control to a building.
As a result, in addition to security managers being responsible for the security of people, property and assets, there is likely to be a number of other stakeholders involved in the decision to justify and fund the installation of an access control system. These could include but are not limited to, health & safety, operations and human resources management.
