Gallagher Security & Transact

As a customer of Gallagher Security for more than 25 years, the University of Sydney was looking for ways to improve life on campus for their students and staff.

Thanks to an integration with Transact Mobile Credential, students and staff can opt in to use their smartphone or Apple Watch to access buildings and doors in libraries and throughout campus.

The integration also enables the students to borrow library materials, print, scan and photocopy and access other campus services.

The University of Sydney is the first university in New South Wales to offer this technology on campus.

The integration between Transact Mobile Credential and Gallagher’s Command Centre enables students and staff to gain fast access simply by ‘badging’ or tapping smartphones/Apple Watches at a reader.

“Secure, convenient and familiar”

“We’re delighted to offer our students and staff a highly secure, convenient and familiar digital university of Sydney ID card,” said Sandie Matthews, Chief Information Officer, University of Sydney.

“Students have told us that their plastic student ID card is one of the few remaining they need to carry around. They use digital bank cards, boarding passes, and concert tickets on their phones.

“This secure technology innovation for digital IDs helps deliver one of our key University strategies to have a better place to work, and a place that works better.

“Our collective commitment”

Adam Smith, Sales Manager, New South Wales, Gallagher Security added: “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.”

“This collaboration between Transact and Gallagher emphasises our collective commitment to improving the university student experience,” concluded Rasheed Behrooznia, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Campus ID Solutions, Transact.
