T O P 1 0 TO INTEGRATE PHYSICAL AND LOGICAL ACCESS CONTROL
1. It creates more capable, unified identity platforms for protecting an organization’s physical and intellec- tual property and information assets.
2. It enables a single smart card to support multiple authentication methods, while enforcing consistent policies and driving consolidated audit logs throughout the enterprise.
3. It will enable organizations to comply with certain regulatory requirements.
4. It cuts costs by enabling physical ac- cess credentials to be re-used for logical access, including strong au- thentication on the desktop, and en- abling logical access credentials to move into the physical access world to drive stronger identity authentica- tion at the door.
5. It is increasingly becoming a budgetary prerequisite as many organizations simply will not con- sider new purchases unless they add applications to existing phys- ical access systems and creden- tials, or extend the use of existing applications. Users want to store several identity formats and appli- cations on a single credential, in- cluding identification, physical access control, PC log-on, time & attendance, vending and visitor management.
6. It has been simplified with the trend towards multi-technology readers that are designed to com- bine a wide variety of proximity and contactless smart card and reader technologies into a single platform.

8. It will deliver benefits not only within the traditional card and reader model, but also on new mobile plat- forms, such as NFC-enabled phones, that will soon carry multi- purpose, multi-technology digital keys and portable credentials.
9. It enables corporations to deploy greener projects by supporting mul- tiple technologies while retaining com- patibility with earlier systems to avoid wholesale “rip and replacement” when the need to upgrade arises.
10. It improves overall security. TOP 10REASONS
7. It opens new market opportunities for strong logical access by making it easier and, therefore, more finan- cially feasible for small- to medium- sized companies to deploy.
