“This integration provides the best of both company’s platforms — managing access control while also receiving important visitor information,” said Open Options President and General Manager Jonathan Berman. “We’re excited to add Veristream as a valued integration partner as iVisitor and their line of visitor management solutions enhances our ability to deliver not only access control but a comprehensive security solution to all our customers.”

Open Options’ DNA Fusion access control software provides a complete access control solution including door control, visitor management, and photo ID management in an open platform that interfaces seamlessly with other systems such as video, biometrics, and wireless locks. DNA Fusion can be managed via a regular client, the web, or Apple and Android smartphones.

Veristream’s iVisitor products provide a secure, web based visitor management system for a variety of industries and companies of any size looking for easier visitor control, increased visitor security, and simplified visitor badging. Easy-to-deploy, SaaS-based iVisitor requires no hardware or software installations. The solution can be customized to fit individual business needs and has a variety of features, including visitor sign in email alerts; self-service visitor management kiosk; security visitor badges; and electronic paperless badging.

“By incorporating this seamless integration of Open Options DNA Fusion Access Control Software with our state-of-the-art visitor management system, we now provide an even more comprehensive security solution making it seamless in protecting premises security,” said Charles Harder of Veristream. “We believe that building security extends beyond security personnel, and provide heightened security for employees, tenants and facilities through systems integration.”
