Gallagher And Transact Partner At University of Sydney On Access Control And Payment Solution.
Gallagher And Transact Partner At Sydney Uni – Gallagher Security and Transact are partnering to deliver a mobile credential and payment solution for the University of Sydney.
According to Adam Smith, sales manager NSW at Gallagher Security, customer of 25 years, University of Sydney, was looking for ways to improve campus life for students and staff. Thanks to an integration with Transact Mobile Credential, Smith said students and staff can opt to use their smartphone or Apple Watch to access buildings and doors in libraries and throughout campus, borrow library materials, print, scan and photocopy, and access other campus services.
“The integration between Transact Mobile Credential and Gallagher’s award-winning site management platform, Command Centre, enables university students and staff to gain fast, secure access to areas on campus, simply by badging or tapping their smartphone or Apple Watch at a Gallagher reader,” Smith said.
“Using highly secure NFC-enabled technology compatible with both iOS and Android, Transact mobile credentials provide students and staff with the added flexibility of contactless micropayments for everything from printing, scanning and copying in offices and campus libraries to laundry payments in student residencies – all securely, all from their smartphone or Apple Watch.
“From the point of view of the Gallagher team, it was rewarding to work with the University of Sydney to understand their needs and to develop and deliver a software and hardware digital credential solution, improving the experience for students and staff on campus,” Smith said.
Sandie Matthews, chief information officer at University of Sydney said the university was delighted to offer students and staff a highly secure, convenient, and familiar digital University of Sydney ID card.
“Students have told us that their plastic student ID card is one of the few remaining physical cards they need to carry around,” Matthews said. “For other requirements they use digital bank cards, boarding passes, and concert tickets on their phones.
The Transact team is also pleased with the outcome of the partnership.
“This collaboration between Transact and Gallagher emphasises our collective commitment to improving the university student experience,” said Rasheed Behrooznia, senior vice president and general manager of Campus ID solutions at Transact.
