Maxxess Announces eFusion Data Integration Services Module

Complete corporate integration to Active Directory

One of the many challenges in today’s IT environment is the multiple databases that exist for the different systems such as logical access, physical access and more. One issue is keeping the databases synchronized and another issue is having to update every database from its program or user interface.

To address these two issues, Maxxess has developed the eFusion Data Integration Services Module (DIS). The DIS is a powerful service module designed to allow integration between the eFusion database and other system databases keeping the database synchronized and allowing the user to choose one point of data entry. The other systems databases may be SQL, Access or merely a file. Custom DIS connectors are also available for proprietary databases.

The Active Directory (AD) connector is one of many connectors managed by the DIS, but certainly one of the most important. Active Directory is a centralized and standardized system that automates network management of user data, security, and distributed resources, and enables interoperation with other directories.

The DIS features include:

• Central location for network administration and security
• Single point of entry for multiple databases
• The ability to scale up or down easily
• Standardizing access to application data
• Synchronization of updates across databases

Unlike other systems, the Maxxess DIS module integrates all the employees to the AD, not just the operators. With this type of integration the end user can synchronize data from the AD system into eFusion as well as have one point of data entry for the identities of all its employees. For identities that do not have logical access (and are not included in the Active Directory) such as the cleaning crew or manual contractors), the identity is entered using eFusion. Every employee can be covered with the DIS module

When the employee is hired and added into AD, the user is automatically added into eFusion for access control. The DIS AD connector allows the user to map the attributes in AD to the fields in eFusion. This allows any fields to be mapped even the access levels and badge number. When a user in AD is disabled/enabled, their identity in eFusion is also disabled/enabled. This allows the customer to disable the logical access and physical access to the building in one single action.
