Transforming Visitor Management: Why Organizations Need to Embrace Digital Solutions in the Modern Workplace

As the workplace landscape continues to evolve, organizations are increasingly recognizing the need to move away from traditional paper logbooks and towards advanced digital visitor management systems. With the rise of unauthorized access and data breaches globally, outdated methods are no longer sufficient to ensure security. The shift towards digital solutions is critical for companies looking to improve their security measures while also increasing efficiency.

In a recent episode of AMAG Asks, Kyle Gordon spoke with Matt MacIntosh, the Product Manager of Hosted Solutions at AMAG Technology about the challenges faced by organizations when transitioning from traditional to digital visitor management systems. The conversation highlighted the slow adoption of digital solutions in visitor management despite widespread digitization in other areas. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the need for digital platforms, particularly in hybrid work environments where physical security measures may not be as effective.

MacIntosh and Gordon discussed the future of visitor management and how it will continue to evolve in response to changing needs. They focused on automation, integration with other security systems, and mobile technology as key areas for improvement. With over eight years of experience at AMAG and having played a pivotal role in developing their visitor management product “Guest”, MacIntosh provided valuable insights into product management and the security challenges faced by organizations today.

As more companies look to upgrade their security measures and improve efficiency, it is clear that traditional paper logbooks are no longer sufficient. Advanced digital visitor management systems offer a more secure solution that can be easily integrated with other security technologies. With continued innovation in this field, we can expect to see even more exciting developments in the future of visitor management.
