Harcor Leads the Charge Against Unnecessary Key Management Subscription Fees
Businesses today are increasingly frustrated with hidden costs—particularly recurring fees for key management systems (KMS) that add up over time. Harcor, the official Australian distributor of the advanced key management system iKLAS, is changing the game by providing a comprehensive solution without unnecessary subscription fees, offering companies robust security without unexpected costs.
Are Subscription Fees Necessary for Key Management Systems?
When investing in a key management cabinet or system, it’s essential to understand the long-term costs, especially those tied to firmware updates and maintenance. Many companies find themselves paying ongoing subscription fees, yet often, these fees do not correspond to new features or critical updates.
Take, for instance, common electronic devices like printers or laptops—you pay once for the hardware, and while you might pay for supplies or support, firmware updates are often covered by the manufacturer at no extra cost. Harcor’s approach with the iKLAS KMS is similar; the firmware in these systems should be stable, reliable, and not require constant updating. When updates are necessary, such as when expanding capacity with new panels, they are specific and functional, not part of a recurring fee.
Harcor’s iKLAS Key Management System: A No Subscription Fee Solution
The iKLAS KMS offers businesses a powerful alternative to the traditional, subscription fee-laden key management systems. By forgoing the subscription model, Harcor provides a system that minimises ongoing costs. Each iKLAS key management cabinet is equipped with advanced, durable firmware, allowing clients to use the system seamlessly without frequent updates or surprise charges.
The system can integrate with leading security platforms such as Gallagher, SecureNet, PowerVision, Bostex, LenelS2 and more. This enables comprehensive access management. For businesses, this means streamlined security and cost-effective operation without the burden of constant renewals.
What to Consider When Choosing a Key Management System
Selecting the right Key Management System involves more than just upfront cost—consider the long-term value. The iKLAS system from Harcor not only offers robust security but also maintains simplicity and reliability, which users prefer over disruptive changes or complex updates. Here’s what to look for:
- Security Features: Look for encryption, secure access controls and tamper-evident accessories.
- Scalability: Choose a system that can grow with your needs, allowing for easy expansion.
- User-Friendly Interface: An intuitive, easy-to-use interface for both administrators and users.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Evaluate both the initial investment and ongoing costs, focusing on total value.
Depending on the scale of the organisation, integration capabilities could also be a consideration. This is because integration with existing security infrastructure can enhance efficiency.
Why Pay for Stability?
In industries like security, consistency is key. With iKLAS, Harcor offers a solution that’s stable and predictable, free from the ongoing subscription fees that many providers impose without clear value. By choosing iKLAS through Harcor, you’re investing in a reliable, cost-effective system that secures your keys without draining your budget over time.
