Why it’s better.

Previously, many businesses couldn’t afford access control systems, which usually involve expensive standalone hardware and software. But now, that’s all changed. IVX Presence Management’s unique integration with your ESI IVX phone system offers advanced yet affordable access-control technology, along with numerous additional capabilities, including many that no other access control system can match. ESI was awarded a U.S. Patent for innovative human-presence-sensing technology. The same team whose research produced this breakthrough now brings you IVX Presence Management. It combines your ESI phone system with another revolutionary technology, RFID (radio frequency identification), to offer:

• Remote entry control with built-in doorphone.
• Access control.
• Presence indication.
• Personal call routing.
• Time and attendance management.  View PDF

Remote entry control with built-in doorphone.

The RFID Reader has a built-in doorphone with lighted display. A visitor presses one key, automatically calling your desired extension, such as that of a receptionist. To remotely unlock any door on which the RFID Reader has been installed, the receptionist just presses a key on an ESI phone or console. Think of how much easier that’ll make it when a delivery arrives at the rear of your building at the same time a customer is in your lobby.

Access control.

Give your business maximum security, seven days and nights a week, with an RFID Reader at every entry to your business, and IVX Presence Management electronic keys. Subsequently, employees use them to enter or leave, and IVX Presence Management controls employees’ access based on time-of-day and day-of-week. You can even manage which employees can go into specific areas within your facilities. When one ceases to be an employee, you need only retrieve (or disable) that one person’s electronic key. You’ll never have to re-key all the locks again.

Presence indication.

Say goodbye to “Sign-in/Sign-out” pegboards. The tight integration between your ESI phone system and IVX Presence Management allows real-time presence indication. That means you can see at a glance whether another ESI station user is on-premises: just set a programmable key on your ESI phone for that person’s extension. When the person uses his/her electronic key upon departure, the tri-color LED in the phone key will change its appearance instantly and automatically, indicating the person is away. This feature makes it easy for managers, attendants, or others who need to know, be aware at all times of which employees are on-premises.

Personal call routing.

IVX Presence Management’s personal call routing can automatically set each employee’s ESI phone to forward calls to voice mail or a cell phone when he or she comes or goes. (You might pay for the whole system off the first order that you don’t miss because employees no longer have to remember to forward their phones when leaving the office.)

Make time cards and payroll entry errors things of the past by adding the Time and Attendance Management Option to IVX Presence Management. For example, the Time and Attendance Management Option automates the entry of data into a payroll system (such as QuickBooks® or ADP®).
