Scalable and robust CCURE 9000 integration

Challenge: Disparate access control systems with no CCure 9000 integration

The security team at Boston University faced challenges in monitoring campus security and operations from a single platform. Despite using a competitor key management system, it lacked tight and reliable integration with CCure 9000. As the information spread across disparate systems, it was difficult to pull reports and posed a risk of misinformation.

Not only this, but it also raised security concerns for university-wide critical assets and forced security personnel to spend hours trying to understand data from multiple systems. The lack of real-time data and integration among various systems led to manual data entry and reconciliation of reports.

“The university management now has consolidated information, accurate data, and effective alarms and monitoring systems. Most importantly, this has instilled confidence in the information they’re working with and can see Torus as an asset for the university’s security infrastructure”.

Solution: Torus + CCure 9000 integrated – access control solution for keys

The management soon realized they needed a new key management system with seamless integration with CCure 9000. So, they turned to Torus and a total of 10 Torus key cabinets have been installed.

Torus + CCure 9000 integrated solution provided the university with a single platform and reduced admin burden. With a single platform, they can now monitor keys and ensure only authorized personnel have access to keys. Moreover, they can trace the last key user in case the equipment is damaged or lost.
