Use Cases and Deployment Scope

HID cards are used in Genpact to ascertain that one only goes where they have access to. Due to Data Protection Act, Non Disclosure Act and Service Level Agreements with different clients, only employees working for that very client should be able to visit that area. HID cards were the best way to control that.

Pros

  • Physical cards, awesome. You touch them, to the access switch and enter only if you have access to it.
  • Since the the entry and exit are recorded. Not only it serves as governance but also attendance and login hours.
  • Since every card had a serial number and is associated with a particular employee id, in case if you loose it, it was really easy to block all the access of that particular card only with employee id.

Cons

  • I noticed that if the access point was a turnstile, then it didn't use to work properly. Doors were always fine.
  • Tailgating becomes very easy with doors, but not turnstile.

Return on Investment

  • I am not sure. Wasn't a part of that team.

A great tool to Secure our Locations with ease
