Is Your Access Control System Creating Unnecessary IT Work
Every credential tap and door unlock depends on technology working behind the scenes. In a traditional access control system, that often includes local servers, software updates, backups, patches, and hardware that must be maintained and eventually replaced.
For many organizations, the result is an access control system that asks facility and IT teams to spend valuable time maintaining infrastructure instead of managing security and daily operations.
Who Is Salto?
Founded in 2001, Salto is a global provider of smart access and identity management solutions. Its electronic locks, readers, credentials, and access control technologies are used across commercial properties, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, government buildings, hospitality environments, and other complex organizations.
Salto solutions are designed to replace traditional mechanical keys with flexible electronic access, giving organizations greater control over who can enter specific doors, buildings, and spaces.
As a Salto partner and certified installer, M3T helps organizations design, deploy, manage, and support Salto access control solutions based on their facilities and security requirements.
A Hosted Approach to Access Control
M3T’s Salto Lock as a Service moves much of the system’s software environment away from the client site and into a hosted environment managed by M3T. Salto locks and required on-site devices remain at the facility, while the system’s management environment is centralized and supported as a service.
Authorized administrators can manage doors, credentials, schedules, and access events through a web-based console. M3T handles the hosted environment, software maintenance, backups, updates, and ongoing support according to the client’s service configuration.
What Changes for Your Team
- Less dependence on local access control servers
- A smaller on-site technology footprint
- Fewer routine software and server-maintenance responsibilities for internal teams
- Centralized administration for one or multiple locations
- A service structure designed to expand as doors and locations are added
A Better Question for Your Next Access Control Review
When evaluating an access control upgrade, do not look only at the locks and readers. Ask what the system will require from your team over its full operating life.
- Who will maintain the server?
- Who will apply updates and patches?
- How will backups be handled?
- What happens when the organization adds another building?
A hosted service can shift many of those responsibilities to a security partner with the infrastructure and technical expertise to manage them.
