Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies Team With CBORD Group To Produce Campus ID, Access Control System

  • May 16, 2007

Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies recently announced it has teamed with The CBORD Group, a provider of campus-wide management solutions, to engineer a new, fully integrated electronic campus identification and access control system that features simplified operational protocols and increased efficiencies for university administrators and security professionals.

Exclusively sold by CBORD, the new offering seamlessly integrates CBORD's proprietary access control system, CS Access™, with Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies' Schlage® value integrated platform and wireless access products into a single, unified access control management database. In addition, integrations of the computer managed and campus lock products are scheduled for release in the third quarter of 2007. Ideal for use with CBORD's CS Gold® campus card program, the new, combined offering enhances operational efficiencies and eliminates the need for security personnel to manage multiple systems. Schools using CBORD’s Odyssey PCS™ campus card system along with CS Access may also take advantage of this offering.

"By integrating our leading electronic locking solutions with CBORD's innovative access control portfolio, we are providing a comprehensive management solution to administrative and security personnel," says Beverly Vigue, vice president of the education vertical market at Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies. "Leveraging our industry-proven locks with the strengths of The CBORD Group signifies yet another step in our ongoing mission to create safe, secure and productive learning environments at colleges and universities."

CBORD's products are used in access control, campus ID privilege control, electronic security, meal plans, housing services, online ordering, food services, catering, nutrition services and other institution-wide activities.

"Millions of students and faculty across the country rely on our one-card systems," said Randy Eckels, CBORD's senior vice president of sales and marketing. "Teaming with Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies to integrate their products into our innovative network of systems will enable us to deliver a new level of convenience and security to administrators and campus security professionals by seamlessly managing all one-card programs on a single database."
