Summary

The mainstream conversation around digital transformation has been in play for more than three decades. Digital transformation for businesses began with the computerization of processes and, more recently, includes the Internet of Things (IoT), social media, mobility, cloud, augmented reality, big data, blockchain, cryptocurrency, and NFTs. Most industries have felt the massive impacts of digital transformation. For those that were at the beginning of this transformation, the effects of the lingering pandemic have accelerated the impacts. The old mission of access control systems was to keep bad people out by being restrictive and binary. That has forever been changed as organizations are looking to make sure they are letting the right people in. AI-driven analytics are creating advanced access control and visitor management solutions that are meeting the challenges of a changing world. This webinar will feature in-depth conversations on technology, integration platforms, policy management and emerging solutions.
