Challenge	Logix Federal Credit Union in California was facing a challenge with their traditional code management system. The system required codes to be sealed in an envelope and sent to the credit union’s headquarters. If an employee needed to float between branches, he or she would need codes for multiple branches. When an employee left, the lock had to be manually reprogrammed by a locksmith to remove the employee’s code. This process was not only costly but also decreased the level of security as codes were inactive in a lock that no longer had an employee assigned to it. Logix outlined several opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce cost. These included reducing service and locksmith charges, removing lock user management from the individual branch managers, allowing more users per lock in each location, and centralizing lock management with the Logix Security Team.

Impact #1	The remote auditing function for the Axessor IP makes its capabilities second to none. From a central location, you can view the history on every lock, verify users, track audits without error, and troubleshoot potential problems.
Impact #2	Remote access simplifies reprograming the locks nearly eliminates the need to bring in service for updates and maintenance.
Impact #3	The installation of the Axessor required a unique partnership between Logix and dormakaba to ensure that the transition from the old system would not disrupt daily branch operations. The process included carefully timed stages to allow for inhouse beta testing, software training, and collaboration with Logix’s security integrator. The rollout was seamless.
