Manage identities across multiple access systems and automate manual processes to streamline business operations
AMAG Technology™, a global leader in physical security and identity management solutions, today announced the release of Symmetry CONNECT 2.0, the next evolution of AMAG’s identity-first approach to physical access administration.
Many enterprises do not operate single access control systems anymore. Mergers, acquisitions, global growth, and decentralized operations create a patchwork of systems that are difficult to manage, increase risk, and slow response.
AMAG Technology partnered with SwiftConnect, provider of the connected access network for places and spaces, to offer a dynamic physical identity and access management system that allows streamlined identity management across multiple access systems. Built for the reality of multi-system enterprises, Symmetry CONNECT 2.0 helps customers unify a single identity across disparate physical access control systems while preserving existing infrastructure and minimizing disruption. Security operators manage one identity while scaling across multiple, mixed systems and buildings.
“Symmetry CONNECT 2.0 solves a real-world problem our customers face all the time: managing access rights consistently across multiple access control systems, often inherited through mergers, acquisitions, and growth,” said Jennifer Marx, Executive Vice President of Product Management, AMAG Technology. “We listened and delivered a solution that works with Symmetry and competing platforms, so our customers can manage identities and access with greater speed and confidence.”
Symmetry CONNECT 2.0 delivers a modern, streamlined single user interface where teams can manage every aspect of an identity. From the same view, operators can manage credentials, access rights and roles, onboarding and offboarding, and approvals. Operators can manage it all from one screen, and changes are applied everywhere, reducing errors and increasing efficiency.
Symmetry CONNECT centers on five core processes: onboarding/offboarding, centralized policy enforcement, self-service access requests, streamlined user experience, and audit and compliance. These are areas where work is disconnected and manual, involving emails, spreadsheets, phone calls and memory-based processes, which increases risk and slows operations. Symmetry CONNECT is designed to reduce that friction by using a more centralized, identity-centered approach.
“Identity is the center of access control administration,” said Marx. “Symmetry CONNECT helps customers replace manual, inconsistent processes with an automated approach to identity operations, improving transparency, reducing risk, and strengthening audit readiness across an organization.”
With Symmetry CONNECT 2.0, customers can:
- Manage one identity across multiple sites and systems to support clean audits and simpler lifecycle management.
- Preserve existing access control investments, preventing a rip-and-replace scenario while modernizing identity operations over time.
- Improve onboarding and offboarding speed and consistency with centralized policy-driven administration.
- Reduce orphaned access risk by improving visibility and control across disparate access systems.
- Scale globally, supporting acquisitions and access control system consolidation at the customer’s pace.
- For integrators, CONNECT 2.0 helps standardize identity across disparate systems, deliver value quickly with minimal disruption, and create ongoing services around identity lifecycle and policy.
Symmetry CONNECT 2.0 is available through AMAG Technology and authorized integrators and resellers. To learn more or request a demo, visit https://www.amag.com/symmetry-connect/.
