Case Study: a UK-based smart-building technology provider achieves secure cloud-based access control with Ficode

a UK-based smart-building technology provider centralizes access control with Ficode and achieves 100% alignment with platform user policy

Ficode developed a cloud-based physical access control solution for a UK-based smart-building technology provider. The client faced the challenge of integrating its Windows-native Paxton Net2 door reader hardware into its predominantly Linux-based AWS platform. This incompatibility caused unreliable deployments and prevented the creation of a centralized, scalable system for managing building access.

Ficode stabilized the deployment by correcting the Windows container build pipeline and configuring it for the AWS EKS cluster. Their solution delivered a unified web interface for managing users, access levels, and visitor passes. The results included a central cloud access model that reduced administrative overhead, 100% alignment with user policies to improve security, and a full audit trail for compliance, all achieved by seamlessly running Windows and Linux services together.
