Case Study: Vanderbilt University enhances campus security with HID Global Mobile Access

Vanderbilt University Selects HID Mobile Access to Secure Its Sprawling Campus in Nashville, Tennessee

Vanderbilt University, a major private research university, faced the challenge of securing its sprawling urban campus and ensuring only authorized individuals had access to its many residence halls and academic buildings. The university, with a priority on student safety and a desire to leverage modern smartphone technology, sought to upgrade its access control system. They turned to vendor HID Global to implement a more convenient and secure mobile access solution.

HID Global implemented its HID Mobile Access solution, powered by Seos technology, which allows users to use their smartphones as credentials for door readers. The solution greatly streamlined the process of issuing and revoking access, cutting credential provisioning time from 10 minutes to mere seconds. This provided enhanced security and significant convenience for students, faculty, and staff, who embraced the ability to use their personal devices for secure access across the Nashville campus.
