Thank you, Martha. This is very helpful. I am now exploring all options and will look at AMAG Symmetry Mobile. We plan to create an RFP and send it out to companies.

I'm not sure if this will be helpful to you, but our campus is in the process of switching to AMAG Symmetry Mobile. The new door keypads will open via a code, physical cards, or a mobile app (using Bluetooth technology). We currently use Eclipse keypads that only accept codes or proximity cards, which is a pain to manage. We are trying AMAG to eliminate staff cards and hundreds of parent codes (we have a preschool where parents need to come in and out the preschool door) and use the mobile app feature instead. There will still be a few "emergency" codes for quick access.

Hello everyone,
I wanted to reach out and inquire about the access control system you are currently using. Our multi-campus PreK-12 schools serve approximately 900 students and employ 225 full-time faculty and staff. We are currently using Schlage SMS, which seems outdated, difficult to manage, and a bit of a money pit. It is currently integrated with our Valcom paging system for automated messaging during lockdowns. Ideally, we would like to find a web-based solution that is easy to manage and can work with our current hardware.
Thank you for your input!
