Drivers

Rising Demand for Enterprise Reliance on Cloud Centered Applications

• Enterprises across diverse scales increasingly favor cloud-based solutions over traditional alternatives due to their convenience and cost-effectiveness. Presently, a wide spectrum of enterprise systems operates within the cloud environment, encompassing critical functions such as email services, sales Customer Relationship Management (CRMs), marketing platforms, productivity tools, IT infrastructure management, messaging systems, and website hosting. The burgeoning popularity of Access Control as a Service (ACaaS) applications, facilitating remote security management via web platforms, has significantly contributed to the soaring demand for cloud-based systems in the security realm.

Restraints

High Initial Setup Cost

• Biometric systems, smart cards, keypad access, and smartphone-based solutions all exhibit variations in pricing. While traditional physical key-based lock systems may appear cost-efficient initially, expenses related to lock replacements or rekeying can significantly inflate costs over time. Moreover, enhancing security levels by adding supplementary features can further escalate the overall system expenses. Access control systems such as biometrics, card-based setups, intercoms, or buzzer systems entail higher initial costs owing to the additional security layers and advanced functionalities they offer. This potential for higher costs associated with these systems might pose a barrier to widespread adoption, influencing decision-making processes within organizations considering access control implementations.
