"We see four large and concurrent forces converging together
in the security market to create large changes in the way we manage
and offer security solutions.
Credential Convergence:
The desire of end users to manage access control with a single credential
has created the opportunity for 'credential convergence' that bridges
mechanical and electromechanical technologies. For example, MEDECO's
Hybrid key incorporates mechanical and RFID technologies such that
a single credential can be used in a mechanical cylinder, with a
typical HID reader, and the new MEDECO Hybrid eCylinder. This is
an offline, battery powered access control system that wirelessly
retrofits to a standard mechanical cylinder. The result is a suite
of mechanical, offline and online openings managed from a single
credential.
Network Convergence:
End users are increasingly demanding the greater use of plug-and-play
technologies based on open standards that make installation easier.
This is true for other IT appliances and the opening is becoming
just another appliance on the network. "
