ASSA ABLOY access control software can do the hard work, while you benefit from upgraded IT infrastructure, high availability and total management flexibility. The CLIQ® Software as a Service (SaaS) solution gives your access system the highest levels of security and scalability, saving you time, money and stress in the process. That’s why so many companies with sensitive assets trust CLIQ® SaaS. CLIQ® is a mechatronic locking system which combines the strengths of high-end mechanical and electronic security. Physical security is maximised with a range of electromechanical cylinders and padlocks, operated with intelligent, programmable, battery-powered keys. The intuitive CLIQ® Web Manager software supports efficient workflow management, enabling you to filter access to specific locks according to your precise needs. You can create individual schedules for users, doors or audit trails. With a few clicks, a CLIQ® key or system can require regular key revalidation, making it much safer to issue time-limited access to contractors or visitors. The software works securely to help you administer access control in the most efficient way for your site, in a self-managed IT environment or with ASSA ABLOY’s CLIQ® SaaS offering. “We designed our SaaS offering to remove the added strain of managing IT infrastructure at the CLIQ customer’s side,” says EMEA DAS Technical Support & operations Director, Thomas Akerberg. “Knowing our flexible, secure architecture has you covered leaves you free to concentrate on security management, rather than IT. “Our SaaS solution makes budgeting more predictable and removes the need to hire additional in-house IT support and maintenance teams. You always know ahead of time how much resource to allocate and you can scale infrastructure up or down instantly.” With ASSA ABLOY’s CLIQ® SaaS solution, you benefit from complete redundancy in data storage, meaning you meet compliance requirements without stress. We offer round-the-clock support, maintenance and incident reporting as standard, with Service Level Agreements delivering up to 99.5% availability. Your CLIQ® software is always up to date — a major benefit for cyber-security resilience, according to one recent market study*. Customers also rate SaaS above internal cloud or server solutions for flexibility, scalability, cost-effectiveness and suitability for managing access control in SMEs, according to survey data quoted in the same report. “Because they spend less on server hardware, less on staff and fewer hours ensuring software is up-to-date, our CLIQ® SaaS customers save time and money,” adds Thomas Akerberg. *: see https://campaigns.assaabloyopeningsolutions.eu/wacreport2018

CLIQ® Connect access control cuts fuel costs
CLIQ® Connect access control cuts fuel costs

Making business more sustainable is a growing challenge for us all — and made even tougher for any business with dispersed sites or a mobile workforce. Mileage mounts up when workers return to base to collect keys or update their access rights. Car and van use eat into budgets and produce harmful carbon emissions. Fortunately, there is a solution. Despite advances in car engine efficiency, mobile workers use more fuel and increase your company’s carbon footprint. You will make a business more sustainable quickly if you reduce the mileage they travel. Yet reducing miles while maintaining security is not easy, if you rely on mechanical keys to lock remote sites. CLIQ® Connect eliminates the need for workers to return to headquarters to collect or return a mechanical key. With CLIQ® Connect, everyone carries their own programmable CLIQ® key and keeps its access rights up-to-date on the move with just a smartphone — meaning fewer miles driven and less money wasted on unnecessary fuel. It’s an easy solution to becoming more sustainable. Security meets sustainability Part of the trusted CLIQ® access control ecosystem, CLIQ® Connect makes an immediate operational impact. The wire-free locking system is based on multiple mechatronic cylinder formats and programmable electronic keys. With CLIQ® Connect, a key-holder no longer updates their access rights physically in person by returning to base, nor even moves to the nearest programming device. All they need is the CLIQ® Connect app and a Bluetooth connection. It’s simple, agile and more sustainable. It saves fuel and cuts emissions instantly. The app pairs your programmable CLIQ® Connect key, via an encrypted connection, with the CLIQ® Web Manager. To change a key-holder’s access rights or key validity, a system administrator accesses the CLIQ® Web Manager — from anywhere — and updates it. The system is managed easily by secure cloud-based software interfaced with the app. A key-holder makes a Bluetooth connection between their CLIQ® Connect key and the app to instantly update access permissions or key validity securely. There is no travel involved and zero fuel consumption. A recent Future of Fuels report concludes: “Fuels create many sustainability impacts and addressing them should be a high priority for companies.”* CLIQ® Connect keeps your business moving in the right direction.
