AMAG Technology and SwiftConnect recently announced that their collaborative effort, integrating Symmetry CONNECT 2.0 with SwiftConnect, has been honored with the Security Industry Association (SIA) New Product Showcase award.
The award, presented at ISC West, the largest security tradeshow in Las Vegas, Nevada, specifically recognized their innovation in the Convergence & Integration Solutions category.
This accolade underlines the escalating demand for more streamlined approaches to managing physical identity and access in large, intricate corporate environments.
Integrated Solution for Complex Enterprises
The joint solution tackles a prevalent issue for large entities: managing identities and credentials spread across multiple physical access control systems (PACS), which often span diverse regions, business divisions, and facilities resulting from mergers and acquisitions.
The integration is designed to unify identity management across disparate PACS settings, offering a centralized administration method without the need to overhaul existing systems entirely.
Industry Recognition of Innovation
"Winning the SIA New Product Showcase is an exciting validation of the problem we set out to solve," said President and CEO, David Sullivan at AMAG Technology. "With Symmetry CONNECT 2.0, networked by SwiftConnect, we are meeting customers where they are, helping them manage identities across existing different access control systems. That is a game changer for organizations dealing with growth, acquisitions, and increasing security complexity."
Enhancing Identity Management
Matt Kopel, Co-CEO at SwiftConnect, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the power of collaboration and smart innovation.
"Together with AMAG, we’ve created a solution that helps enterprises simplify identity lifecycle management across mixed PACS environments while preserving their existing investments."
Comprehensive Organizational Benefits

For organizations, the advantages of this integrated approach are immediate and tangible. By eliminating the reliance on fragmented systems and manual processes, companies can centralize their identity and access management.
This results in quicker onboarding and offboarding, reduction of orphaned access rights, improved audit trails, and more consistent policy adherence, all contributing to an overall enhanced capability to scale security operations internationally. Employees benefit from using a single credential seamlessly, irrespective of location or access system.
This integration proves particularly valuable for large corporations within critical infrastructure, healthcare, banking, data centers, and other heavily regulated sectors, where centralized management and compliance are crucial.
