Cloud-Based Ecosystem Expanded to Include Access Control

Capturing working time data and protecting employees and company assets through access control is essential for every business. To ensure that time tracking and access control systems are both scalable and reliable, their operation requires intensive monitoring, maintenance, and support of the IT infrastructure. This often ties up valuable personnel and expertise, leaving little room for risk mitigation or strategic development.
The solution: migrating to the cloud.

According to a Bitkom survey on cloud computing, more than three-quarters of respondents highlighted the ease of mobile access and reported faster scalability of their IT services. Other benefits include increased data security and reduced IT costs.

With Interflex Managed Services, Interflex Datensysteme GmbH, specialist in modern access concepts, workforce management, and workforce planning, offers a cloud-based ecosystem that now includes access control in addition to time tracking. The solution relieves HR departments, corporate security, and especially IT teams and their infrastructure. This helps conserve resources, boost productivity, and reduce costs.

Everything from a Single Source

Interflex Managed Services is modular and scalable in terms of services, user packages, and functionalities. Interflex provides everything from a single source: the complete hosting infrastructure including data center, servers, backup systems, and network security; the IF-6040 software application with modules for time tracking and access control; and peripheral hardware such as terminals, locks, and ID cards, all fully integrated into operations. Hosting and hardware form a homogeneous system within Interflex Managed Services. They are connected to a central update center and system monitoring, allowing all integrated components to be updated easily and uniformly. This ensures that both hosting and hardware are always synchronized, up to date, and secure. Users benefit from the latest features, robust security measures, and continuous improvements in usability.

Always Available

Access to Interflex Managed Services and its data, securely stored in Germany in compliance with GDPR, is available 24/7 from anywhere via the internet. Bookings and requests are processed instantly without delay. Continuous monitoring and proactive optimization ensure high performance of both system and applications. Interflex Managed Services also includes modern security standards such as certificate-based end-to-end encryption, enabling secure communication. Automatic backups and disaster recovery processes are also integrated.

With the Cloud-on-Demand licensing model, companies can adjust the number of active users to match their actual needs, ensuring full flexibility and predictable costs. The cloud-based ecosystem can be deployed as a standalone solution or connected to other systems via interfaces, such as for importing employee master data. Interflex Managed Services is ISO 27001 certified and aligned with the ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) framework. Interflex is also planning to develop additional components with wireless connectivity, allowing even more flexibility with existing hardware and simplifying installation efforts.

Companies gain investment security with our cloud-based all-in-one solution and can respond quickly to dynamic market conditions, emphasizes Uwe Bühn, Product Manager at Interflex. They also free up resources and relieve their IT, HR, or corporate security teams, because we take care of the system management. This gives employees more time to focus on core tasks and value-adding projects. In short, they regain their most valuable resource: time.
