Case Study: Texas State University boosts security and key management efficiency with Morse Watchmans KeyWatcher Touch

Texas State University Boosts Security to Keep Pace with Rapid Growth and Expansion

Texas State University, experiencing significant growth in both its student population and physical campus, faced challenges in managing access keys across its expanding facilities. Maintenance staff frequently encountered issues with keys being unavailable, leading to inefficient and time-consuming tracking processes. To address these security and operational inefficiencies, the university partnered with vendor Morse Watchmans to implement their KeyWatcher Touch electronic key control system.

The solution from Morse Watchmans provided centralized, networked key management that greatly improved accountability and efficiency. The system's features, including automated checkout logs, duration limits, and alarms, eliminated the problem of keys being unnecessarily checked out. This resulted in more reliable access for staff, reduced liability, and streamlined reporting. The university's Associate Director noted the system's reliability and the vendor's responsive support, leading to an ongoing implementation of up to 85 systems across campus.
