Business applications to provide great help for small and medium sized businesses built on their real needs were entered to the contest titled „Business Wall of Fame” Telekom announced back in April. The grand prize, a 10-million HUF worth advertising campaign went to the Accessium Kft. having developed the e-Access cloud based access control system.

The e-Access system has been created through dovetailing access systems, wireless technology and the most advanced data protection procedures. The solution allows an unlimited number of unified and interconnected locations to interact and is extremely flexible to handle. What is more, the e-Access concept is not only applicable for the classic building environment but also to vehicles such as trucks, remote areas like farms or even to places where a wired telecommunication infrastructure is not available at all. The cloud-based system communicating through the mobile network can be operated remotely by both mobile and tablet. In the course of the system's online operation we obtain real-time information about all the assets integrated in the system and their state.

Péter Berende, CEO of Accessium Kft. said: „We created e-Access because we saw the real need for small and medium businesses to protect their premises against unlawful entry and theft. It is a very cost effective solution and extremely easy to set up and operate. As an added benefit, the consumption of e-Access is so minimal that it is possible to operate the system exclusively via solar power.”
