ProdataKey Announces Full Release Of PDK.io 2.0

ProdataKey (PDK), the manufacturer of the cloud access control platform built for mobile, announced the full availability of its new software platform, PDK.io 2.0.

Previewed at ISC East in November 2023 and available in beta to installation partners since December 2023, the software is ready for widespread use by PDK customers.

Version 2.0

Most notably, version 2.0 expands scalability to offer full support of enterprise installations managed across multiple buildings and sites.

With version 2.0, doors connected to disparate PDK Cloud Nodes can be managed as a single customer system and credential holders can reside in a single database and be distributed across one or many locations.

Key features

Other enhancements improve the user experience by making system management, configuration, and maintenance faster and easier. They include:

• System and Health: PDK.io 2.0 provides an at-a-glance view of how the entire system is functioning and a means to quickly dive deep into detailed information about specific devices. It facilitates faster diagnostics, troubleshooting, servicing, and problem resolution.
• Early Configuration: Dealers or administrators can begin set up, like importing people, segmenting them into groups, setting global permissions, and issuing credentials before installing PDK hardware. As soon as the hardware is installed, credentials will function at controlled doors.
• Extended Management: Once a system is operational, it can be managed even when a part of the system is disconnected, giving insight into when the device was last seen. 
• Continued Ease of Use: PDK.io 2.0 provides more intuitive access to features and a more seamless experience. For example, users can quickly switch between viewing their devices within a list or on a floor plan.

Ease of use

“After extremely positive reviews and valuable feedback from installation partners, we are thrilled to make PDK.io 2.0 widely available to the market beginning today,” said Brach Bengtzen, Vice President of Marketing.

“With this new release, we‘ve preserved our platform’s simplicity and ease of use, adding new capabilities, and making it appropriate for even the largest, multisite customers. We’re excited to see PDK become the preferred access solution for enterprise installations.”
