ING Bank Amsterdam - Electronic Key Management

Electronic Key Management in an elegant design at ING Bank Amsterdam

The ING Acanthus office building in Amsterdam Zuidoost is one of the finest office buildings in Holland. Here one of Holland's largest banks, the ING Bank, is located. Many of the flexible and open rooms could be opened only by security personnel. For the employees that often meant long waiting times. The administrative effort for the security staff was enormous: at least five hours a week were spent only for key issuing. The control of the key return was almost impossible. Thus, it was often necessary to replace locks and keys - a costly affair. The electronic key management of deister electronic convinced the safety advisor of the ING Bank and since 2009 all keys are securely stored in four proxSafe maxx cabinets . ING is so convinced of the easy-to-use system that an expansion is already planned. The employees log in with the existing employee identification cards and can easily find their assigned key. At the return of the keys ING wanted to record the person to restore it. The proxSafe Commander software logs this process, and manipulations are not possible at any time. The software also allows to change the permissions of individual users or to block access completely with only a few mouse clicks .Since the deister's electronic key management is employed, there are no more lost keys. Not only the elegant design of the proxSafe maxx cabinet convinced the ING, the system is also extremely reliable and as well as maintenance-free.
