SwiftConnect integrates with Software House C•CURE 9000 to extend Employee Badge in Apple Wallet

SwiftConnect, a provider of connected access enablement, is powering easy, secure, and private access using an iPhone and Apple Watch with the Johnson Controls Software House C•CURE 9000 access control system. The SwiftConnect AccessCloud platform integration with the Software House C•CURE 9000 access control system makes it possible for Software House C•CURE 9000 customers to take advantage of employee badge in Apple Wallet for physical access.

Powered by SwiftConnect, employee badge in Apple Wallet allows users to conveniently access buildings, turnstiles, amenity spaces, office suites, enterprise resources, and more with just their iPhone or an Apple Watch. To date, SwiftConnect has completed several dozen successful deployments of employee badge in Apple Wallet at landmark buildings in New York City, London and beyond with customers who use the Software House C•CURE 9000 access control solution.

“The SwiftConnect platform integration with Software House C•CURE is reshaping the way people interact with buildings and offices at dozens of our joint customer locations,” said Jason Ouellette, Head of Technology and Business Innovation for Security Products Access Control and Video Systems business at Johnson Controls. “We look forward to a continued successful partnership and helping organizations leverage the power of mobile for convenience, seamless, and secure access.”

Validated through the Connected Partner Program from Tyco Security Products, a part of JCI, SwiftConnect has leveraged its tools and robust integration development packages to achieve the functionality and flexibility required for integrating with Software House C•CURE 9000.

“SwiftConnect and Johnson Controls share a common vision in helping enterprises and commercial real estate organizations transform buildings from traditional offices to more flexible workspaces by delivering on-demand, self-service access with the convenience of mobile credentials in digital wallets,” said Josh Jagdfeld, VP of Partnerships at SwiftConnect. “The integration broadens our ecosystem and extends our global reach to serve more customers looking to create better workplace experiences and automate their access management at scale.”
