Hirsch Identive Implements Access Control System for Citizens Property Insurance Corporation

Hirsch Identive announced the implementation of a total enterprise Physical Access Control System (PACS) for Tallahassee, Florida-based Citizens Property Insurance Corporation. Citizens has replaced its legacy access control system with Hirsch Identive's physical access hardware and award-winning Management System software throughout its Florida offices. Hirsch Identive's Velocity enables Citizen's staff to manage and monitor access control operations from a central station in each facility.

Velocity delivers a broad range of security management features bundled into a single package. In addition, it allows seamless integration of access control, intrusion detection, alarm monitoring, credential enrollment, photo badging, video surveillance and database management. The system installation is straightforward and includes user-friendly tutorials.

Due to an inaccessible legacy system database, the new system had to be built from the ground up. Considerable effort was required to maintain an aggressive installation schedule, but in the end the transition of the new system was virtually seamless and appeared to be almost effortless.”

To provide a complete solution for Citizens, Hirsch Identive teamed with its local integration partner, Viking Security of Kissimmee, Florida, which specializes in multi-location, enterprise-wide project installations. This implementation is the result of a two-year project in which Citizens and Viking Security visited multiple current Hirsch Identive customer locations and Hirsch Identive staged product demonstrations and development meetings at Citizens' sites, providing Crawford and his team the confidence to move forward with the project.
