SwiftConnect, the pioneering provider of connected access enablement, and Swiss-based LEGIC Identsystems, a global pioneer in secure authentication, access management and IoT platform solutions, announced a partnership to accelerate deployments of easy, hassle-free access using NFC wallets in mobile devices for major corporations across Europe and beyond.
As an official LEGIC Partner, SwiftConnect is the first to enable corporate access via NFC wallets for LEGIC customers and its vast partner network – developers of readers, credentials, application software, and services.
LEGIC’s pioneering service
“We are excited to extend SwiftConnect’s proven expertise in NFC wallet integrations with LEGIC’s pioneering service for deploying secure mobile credentials into smartphones and other mobile devices. This solution is very attractive to our broad ecosystem of access control hardware partners and their end customers,” said John Harvey, Head of Business Unit Access Management, LEGIC Identsystems.
“With our partnership, LEGIC and SwiftConnect are driving corporate access deployments in Europe via NFC wallets in mobile devices for large end customers. Our collaboration positions LEGIC extremely well to open opportunities in other vertical markets and geographies."
Advantage of the complementary capabilities
The joint customer uses LEGIC’s reader and secure credential provisioning and key management service
A global financial institution headquartered in Europe has already begun to take advantage of the complementary capabilities that LEGIC and SwiftConnect offer large, multinational organisations. The joint customer uses LEGIC’s reader and secure credential provisioning and key management service.
They turned to SwiftConnect to integrate employee badges in Apple Wallet with their existing physical access and IT infrastructure so employees can use an iPhone and Apple Watch for hassle-free experiences in their offices around the world.
SwiftConnect’s range of supported technologies
“Our strategic collaboration with LEGIC is fuelling our momentum by enabling SwiftConnect to power trusted mobile credentials in NFC wallets across LEGIC’s broad customer base and partner ecosystem for connected access to places, spaces and things,” said Josh Jagdfeld, VP of Partnerships at SwiftConnect.
“The partnership expands SwiftConnect’s range of supported technologies and makes it possible for more customers in major industries to take advantage of our ability to create self-service and on-demand access experiences via mobile credentials.”
