Case Study | Public Sector
JanusC4 was the preferred solution for the project for many reasons, notably due to the centralised control of multiple sites and remote access capabilities.
Redbridge Council had been relying on an outdated and poorly maintained access control system, which caused multiple issues on a regular basis. Fortunately, they were able to seek help from the renowned security firm, Hall & Kay, who were already working in another department.
JanusC4 was the preferred solution for the project for many reasons, notably due to the centralised control of multiple sites and remote access capabilities.
The existing system, as well as being difficult to maintain, had high operational costs which was a concern for the public authority who always strive for cost reduction. JanusC4 was able to deliver more in terms of functionality and capability, while also being more cost-effective. Therefore, the decision to upgrade the building’s access control to JanusC4 was made.
To meet the project requirements, the change needed to happen quickly. JanusC4 was rapidly deployed. Hall & Kay upgraded the controllers and readers, and thanks to JanusC4’s ability to manage multiple doors on a single controller, space was maximised in doing this.
All parts were quickly shipped from the Grosvenor Technology warehouse in Dorset, on the south coast of the UK, further enabling a speedy and efficient process.
Hall & Kay is anticipating that additional council buildings will benefit from similar upgrades, making managing the whole estate far easier and more responsive. As a designated security team for Redbridge Council, Hall & Kay has access to the centralised control dashboard. This means they can rapidly respond to any issues or queries, reducing downtime, something that is a significant benefit in a busy public building.
“The upgrade of our existing access control system to JanusC4 took place quickly and efficiently. It has enabled us to manage all outlining building from one central location and subsequently better manage user databases and streamline our onboarding process. Thanks to Hall & Kay and Grosvenor Technology for their rapid response on this project.”
