ASSA ABLOY highlights business case for digital access at Intersec 2025

By digitalising access, organisations of every size and type can streamline workloads, collaborate better and maximise the productivity of all their existing assets. Digital access provides a concrete Return on Investment that a business can turn into a competitive advantage.

“Buildings have an increasingly digital future,” explained Murtaza Husaini, business development director and head of commercial security solutions at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions in the Middle East. “It’s now crucial for all kinds of organisations to ready their access regimes for what’s ahead.”

Digital with confidence

In a world of emerging and evolving threats, physical security should never be taken for granted. Building users and managers need the reassurance of secure access to work productively. As security converges, moving beyond traditional physical and cyber ‘silos’, the right digital access solution enables building management teams to define and audit exactly who goes where and when.

To digitalise effectively, robust and reliable hardware and secure software can minimise maintenance needs. Identifying relevant and forward-looking third party certifications, including for green building schemes, whether for digital locks, electronic door closing solutions or for access provision compliance at sensitive locations are also key to specification decision-making.

Choosing a digital solution manufacturer with a track record of innovation affords organisations confidence that their solution will always prepare them for what’s ahead and not just ‘the here and now’. Genuinely future-proofed solutions embrace digital openness and customisability.

Convenience is king. The most recent edition of the Wireless Access Control Report found this to be the biggest factor driving the switch to mobile and digital access. When employees, contractors and visitors come and go with ease, building operations are streamlined.

Of course, a sustainability ethos must also be embedded within any future-proof digital solution. Incorporating sustainability into an access strategy also directly benefits the bottom line. Both the organisation and the environment gain when power consumption is reduced by using digital innovations such as energy-harvesting technology.
