Case Study: Socomec improves secure PC access and IT efficiency with HID Global

Socomec Chose HID Global Solutions

Socomec, a leading French manufacturing group, needed to provide its production staff with secure and convenient access to shared PCs and the company intranet without creating a significant administrative burden for its IT department. They faced challenges with managing multiple user accounts on shared workstations and wanted to better integrate their factory employees. The company turned to HID Global for a solution using their HID on the Desktop product.

HID Global implemented a solution leveraging Socomec's existing HID Prox cards, deploying OMNIKEY readers and naviGO software for logical access control. This allowed employees to log into PCs securely with their card and a PIN. The results included significant time and cost savings, a dramatic reduction in IT helpdesk queries, and improved employee morale. Socomec also extended the use of the cards for time, attendance, and cashless payment, creating a more secure and efficient working environment.
