Migrating Access Control Systems To The Cloud

Why Migrate To Cloud Based Access Control

We understand that migrating to cloud access control sounds daunting and that if you have historically used onsite infrastructure to store your data the prospect of moving from an in-house system to a cloud-based set up can seem ominous. OLS specialise in transitioning customers to the cloud having managed this for many clients across a range of industries and sectors since 2009. We have a detailed data plan for migration that we can guide you through to ensure a hassle-free transition to the cloud.

Mobile Access Control

A convenient, secure, and modern form of access control

Mobile devices have become an essential part of our day-to-day lives. They are shaping different systems we use, not only to connect with people but to manage our lives and businesses as well. Mobile Access Control allows devices like smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets to be used instead of key cards or key fobs, to gain access to secured doors, gates, networks, services and more. Connected to a secure management dashboard, you can instantly grant, disable, and manage permissions from anywhere at any time.

First-rate Customer Service

I have never had anything but a positive experience with Ollie and OLS. Ollie is not only professional and responsive; he is always ahead of the game. OLS’s Access Control solution, ACT 365, is a great solution for customers who need access control. With features like anti-passback and muster reporting, ACT-365 is built to keep employees and businesses safe.

REMONDIS Doncaster Ltd has utilised the services of OLS Ltd to assist in building a bespoke security solution for our Doncaster site. They have installed CCTV with thermal imaging cameras to a very high standard and in a professional manner. Since installation OLS have continued to provide us first class service and support. Over the past 3 years we have built up a strong rapport with OLS and I would not hesitate to recommend their skills and knowledge to any other company.

Nick Shaw, Transport & Operations Manager, Remondis

OLS have been fantastic throughout the project. They provided us with a great solution for the issues we were facing at DCLT Crookhill Golf Course. The Cantilever sliding gate, cloud-based access control, video intercom unit and CCTV all work together to not only keep the site secure but keep the site exclusive for members and patrons alike.

I have dealt with OLS for a number of years, in the past they have supplied us with remote monitored CCTV and recently when refurbishing our offices they attended to move detectors and cameras and no job was too small. Excellent professional company.

Debbie, Emergency Response Training

At Castle Park we have enjoyed a strong working relationship with OLS for several years. As well as partnering Doncaster Knights as a commercial sponsor, OLS recently sourced and install a new turnstile access system for the stadium. We found all works to be carried out to the highest standard and the customer service first rate. As well as supporting Doncaster Knights OLS have recently supported initiatives and fundraisers lead by Doncaster & Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals & I look forward to continuing to work with Ollie, Claire and the team for many seasons to come.

Michael Casey, Commercial Manager, Castle Park

OLS were fantastic from start to finish. They listened to what we wanted and provided us with the best solution for our business and building. All the work was carried out with the minimum of fuss and disruption to the business. The entrance barriers have stopped all unauthorised entry and parking within the buildings car park.
