Accessing Business Intelligence through Software Generated Key Management Reports

Regardless of how it is measured, digital information is an often untapped source of business intelligence. And while there is temptation to feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of data available to us, there is also potential to translate the data into useful and actionable intelligence.

Software designed specifically for key control and asset management systems can help achieve this potential by delivering the right information at the right time to the right people on their choice of devices. Whether it’s a daily report listing which keys were accessed, at what times and by whom or an exception report indicating keys that were not accessed as scheduled, key control data has the ability to reveal insights that would otherwise remain hidden.

Key usage data provides a wide range of business intelligence and programmed reports are the easiest and most effective method of assembling and viewing the information. Easy to read reports are generated in portrait or landscape mode with color interspaced lines. Reports can be viewed on an as needed basis, periodically or they can be pushed to authorized personnel through the use of scheduled reports. Email delivery of customized or standard reports can be scheduled for any frequency or specific time, or they can be accessed using a smart phone app. System administrators have access to view or run reports as needed.

Programming of the software can be conveniently accomplished with an easy to use client interface. Remote functions and profile features designed to quickly assign users key and group permission levels add to the system functionality. Users can be added from a global list and all settings are automatically synchronized across the system.

Investments in key control and asset management systems are optimized with reporting software. There are clear benefits to be gained and whether the information is something management is looking for or feedback that points to a security issue, key management reports provide it all.

What's next? It’s clear why building managers can benefit from actionable business reports from their key tracking systems. Learn more about key tracking systems by filling out a quick contact form or using our key locker configurator tool.

Why Physical Keys Are Still a Cybersecurity Risk for Data Centers

Datacenters are increasingly running the modern economy. Behind every cloud workload, transaction, application, and dataset is the physical environment that powers and cools the equipment that makes them possible. Today’s businesses rely on the cloud to deliver everything from HR software to financial statements. But as adoption rates increase, businesses and consumers will continue to hold data center operators to higher standards beyond just uptime, but security, accountability, and trust. Firms spend countless hours discussing cybersecurity, firewalls, zero trust, network segmentation, and 24×7 monitoring. However, once someone has passed the perimeter defenses and entered a facility, many businesses drop their guard. . Key control is just as much a part of a data center’s cybersecurity strategy as its digital defenses, and should be treated as such.

Key Control: The Missing Link in Government Facility Security

Government agencies of all sizes, from municipal, county, state and federal, depend on accountability and visibility. Whether maintaining a vehicle fleet or overseeing access to administrative buildings, oversight is essential to maintaining public trust and ensuring safety. Yet many government departments still rely on manual key sign-out sheets, spreadsheets, or paper logs to manage physical access. The result is slower operations, risk of human error, and a gap in safety and security. Key management systems bring automation and transparency to these processes. By replacing paper records with secure, digital tracking, agencies can monitor key usage in real time, strengthen state and local government security, and reduce the administrative burden that comes with managing access manually.

Key Control: The Overlooked Source of Business Intelligence

Every business leader knows the value of data. Sales reports, staffing metrics, and financial dashboards drive smarter decisions every day. But one overlooked source of intelligence is the everyday key. Who uses them, when, and for what purpose creates a digital trail of activity that - when administered through a key management system - provides powerful insights into security, efficiency, and risk reduction. Comprehensive electronic key management systems like Morse Watchmans’ KeyWatcher® Touch do more than secure keys. They transform everyday key transactions into business intelligence, helping leaders protect assets, streamline operations, and plan for the future.
