In today's fast-paced world, convenience and security are paramount. Imagine navigating seamlessly through your building using just one credential—whether it's a physical card, mobile device, or even your face. No more fumbling with multiple access cards or worrying about outdated credentials. Welcome to the future of access control with BluSKY's unified credentialing solution.
The Challenge of Multi-Tenant Access Control
Multi-tenant buildings often grapple with complex access control systems. Tenants and employees juggle multiple credentials to access different areas—one for the base building entrance, another for elevators, and yet another for their office suite. This not only leads to frustration but also poses security risks. Multiple credentials increase the chances of lost or misplaced cards, and managing them becomes a logistical nightmare for administrators.
Moreover, traditional systems struggle to accommodate the diverse range of credential types now available—from physical cards to biometric identifiers like facial recognition. There's a pressing need for a unified system that simplifies access while enhancing security.
Enter BluSKY's Unified Credentialing Solution
BluSKY addresses these challenges head-on with a multifaceted solution designed for the modern, multi-tenant environment. Here's how it works:
Multi-Credential Acceptance for a Single Person
BluSKY's platform allows a single individual to have multiple credentials associated with their profile. Whether it's a physical access card, a mobile credential on their smartphone, or biometric data like facial recognition, all these identifiers are linked to one user record. This flexibility ensures that users can choose the most convenient method of access at any given time.
Support for Diverse Credential Types
- The system is compatible with a wide array of credential technologies:
- Physical Credentials: Traditional access cards and key fobs.
- Virtual Credentials: QR codes and PIN numbers.
- Mobile Credentials: Utilizing Bluetooth or NFC technologies on smartphones.
- Biometric Credentials: Facial recognition, voice identification, and more.
- This comprehensive support ensures that the system is future-proof and adaptable to emerging technologies.
Cross-System Capability
One of the standout features of BluSKY's solution is its ability to bridge multiple access control systems. Credentials are securely stored in the cloud and can be propagated across different systems—be it the base building's access control or individual tenant spaces. This means a single credential grants appropriate access throughout the entire building, simplifying the user experience and administrative processes.
Advanced Card Format (ACF) Technology
To tackle the issue of overlapping card numbers across different tenants, BluSKY employs Advanced Card Format (ACF) technology. By enhancing the standard card number with additional data like facility codes, each credential becomes a unique "super code." This ensures that even if two cards share the same base number, the system can distinguish between them based on the augmented data, maintaining security and proper access control.
Benefits of BluSKY's Unified Credentialing
 |
Convenience and User ExperienceUsers no longer need to carry multiple cards or remember various PINs. A single credential provides seamless access from the building entrance to individual office suites. The option to use different credential types—like a mobile device or biometric identifier—adds to the convenience, catering to personal preferences and situations. |
 |
Enhanced SecurityWhen an employee leaves the organization, their access can be revoked across all systems simultaneously. This eliminates security gaps that occur when credentials are removed from one system but not others. The centralized management ensures that all associated credentials are deactivated, preventing unauthorized access. |
 |
Simplified AdministrationManaging access credentials becomes significantly easier. Administrators can issue, modify, or revoke credentials from a single portal—BluSKY's intuitive interface. This centralized approach reduces administrative overhead and minimizes the potential for errors. |
 |
Cost EfficiencyReducing the number of physical cards and streamlining the access control infrastructure leads to cost savings. There's less need for physical card production, and the system's scalability means it can grow with the building's needs without significant additional investment. |

Tenant Attraction and RetentionIn a competitive real estate market, offering advanced amenities like unified credentialing can be a differentiator. Tenants are increasingly looking for buildings that provide not just space, but also convenience and cutting-edge technology.
