• Keys, cards and fobs can be lost, stolen or borrowed
• Carrying-costs of keys, cards and fobs are sunk
• Physically distributing keys to users* who are “floating” (indirect labor cost)
• Retrieving keys from departing users; issuing keys to new users (indirect labor cost)
• Promptly rekeying doors upon user termination; or key, card, fob audit discrepancies (indirect logistics cost)
• Budgeting, planning for rekeying (see all above)

Present dilemma of various employees,
vendors using entry that may be alarmed

• Management of “after hour” or “unattended” delivery personnel: beverage, food resupply, consumable (i.e. paper, linens), maintenance (i.e. floor, degrease, mechanical systems, pest control) 
• Ingress without proper alarm authority or PIN creating false alarm (usual “fix” is common PIN)
• Egress without proper alarm reactivation authority or PIN leaving premise unalarmed (usual “fix” is common PIN)

Describe propagation and IT requirements
as addressed by e-DATA’s architecture

• e-DATA Access requires no server or software
• Managed with any Web browser-enabled device (HTTPs optional) 
• Biometric authentication: Your finger can’t be lost, stolen or borrowed
• Finger is the original and ultimate “mobile platform”
• Biometrics is not “fingerprinting;” it captures the finger's geometric data and turns into a binary code
• User rights distributed to any other e-DATA-controlled premise
• Small data-packet citizen inside a VPN (private); secure in WAN (wide area)
• Remote system operation, remote enrollment, report creation (by authorization level)
• e-DATA Access is Linux-based and SOAP/Rest Web Services-enabled
• Static or DHCP ready
• Configurable from 1-96 readers across multiple sites
• Non-obsoleting; no more upgrades for Windows “fill in the blank” servers
