Safeguarding high security areas, such as labs and server rooms, as well as maintaining a safe environment for employees can be burdensome for pharmaceutical security personnel. Brivo's Online Access Control product line alleviates those burdens.

• Eliminate key management hassles. When employees leave, Brivo ACS allows managers to simply revoke cards and PINs, making the hassles of managing keys and re-keying locks a thing of the past.
• Manage multiple sites—labs, server rooms, documentation facilities, manufacturing and packaging centers—all from a single centralized system over the Web.
• DVR integration gives administrators and security personnel the ability to playback video clips instantly for any event in the activity log. View clips for specific user events, doors and sites.
• Instant notifications of alarms via email or SMS text messaging keep security officers informed of system events like users trying to enter unauthorized areas, temperature changes, and even power outages.
• Lockdown gives administrators the ability to revoke access privileges from a large number of users for specific sites and doors in the event of an emergency situation.
• No network or IT resources required to run the system. All software upgrades and system maintenance is performed by Brivo.

Success Story
Sorenco Laboratories, Salt Lake City, UT

Sorenco Laboratories is a worldwide, full service contract manufacturer, packager and formulator of high quality personal care, pharmaceutical, and nutritional products. Prior to installing the Brivo solution, Sorenco maintained a standard lock and key system.

Keys were used to access their documentation control room, quality control rooms, warehouse and production doors, administrative offices and "clean rooms"—sterile rooms used for filling customers' products—all of which are considered restricted areas. With too many people having been given keys and with no reliable tracking system to know who had them, it soon became apparent that an electronic access control solution was needed.

Centurion Technologies, West Jordan, Utah, was called in to install Brivo ACS in their Salt Lake City facilities. Sorenco's Berk Ward, Director of Business Development, HACCP & Safety, stated, "We had no control over who had keys. It got to the point where people would allow access or be given access to areas they shouldn't have had. With the Brivo solution, we now have control over restricted areas." Sorenco is now in their third phase of installation with 34 doors installed across their site with up to 18 more doors to be installed in the next few weeks. Ward continued to say, "It's great to be able to access my account from the Internet. I can access the system from anywhere—work, home or even on a business trip."

Introducing Brivo's OnSite SE™

On September 10, Brivo was pleased to announce the product launch of OnSite SE ("System Edition"). The "big brother" to ACS OnSite™, OnSite SE is a powerful IT appliance-based access control solution for organizations that require their data to be maintained with in their own network. The system uses a rack-mounted embedded Web platform capable of provisioning and managing multiple networked control panels.

The OnSite SE appliance increases system capacity and range by using a dedicated controller that manages multiple control panels on a corporate LAN, or across the Internet, for multi-site configurations. OnSite SE supports up to 300 readers and 25,000 users, with a database capacity of up to 1,000,000 events.

With Brivo accepting orders for OnSite SE for delivery starting in November, now you can have your own private Brivo. Learn more about OnSite SE.

Brivo Online Access Control provides reporting and notifications that can be set up to customize how the system is used. Every organization has different requirements, and the flexibility of Brivo's solutions let end-users create tools and enable processes that meet—and exceed—those requirements. To get started, a thorough understanding of the available options is necessary:

• The Activity Report is a customized query of the Activity Log, such as "All Access Events by John Doe at Front Door on February 1" or "All Exception Events at Server Room in the last month."
• The In/Out Report allows you identify which users have gained credentialed access to a site (In), and who amongst that group has subsequently used a credential to leave the site (Out).
• Customized user reports can be created in ACS WebService; the powerful but easy-to-set options lets administrators query the database for information related to a specific user.
• Notifications of system events can be received by cell phone, email, or PDA. Notifications can be access events, such as when a certain user enters a specific door; exception events, such as a door propped open; device events, such as when a motion sensor engages; a power outage; or even a summary of activity from the previous day.

Many Brivo users find these features to be integral parts of their weekly and even daily routines. Here's how a few end-users have programmed their systems:

• Clemson University's Livestock Poultry Health Programs' system administrator Mike Edwards was able to help "train" staff on their access privileges. He used extensive reports of system activity along with notifications that alert him to personnel acting outside of privileges; the result is less frustration and time wasted by employees unsure of where they can or can't go.
• Rocky Mountain Regional Airport set up redundant alerts so that if a gate failure occurs, email and text notifications are sent to the Operations Manager and his staff, as well as to the 24-hour agent-on-duty's cell phone, ensuring that all concerned parties receive the same information at the same time and avoiding a time-consuming calling tree to pass information along.
• In The Village of Hoffman Estates, Illinois, administrators have programmed their system to fulfill a number of critical functions. Staff members receive a daily "exception report" that flags activity needing investigation: propped or forced doors, unauthorized access attempts, and repeated attempts for access by someone who may actually need such access.
