The Project
The ASL Building in Swords serves as the main office for ASL Group and ASL Airlines Ireland, managing flight operations and group administration. The existing on-premise access control system had become a security vulnerability due to its outdated physical infrastructure, prompting the IT team to seek an urgent replacement with a modern, cloud-based solution.
The transition required more than a like-for-like upgrade. The new platform needed to introduce visitor pass management, provide a smooth migration path from the existing system, and deliver a cloud-based architecture that eliminated the security risks inherent in the legacy setup without interrupting the operational continuity of the building.
The Solution
ASL Building in Swords, the main offices for ASL Group and ASL Airlines Ireland, plays a crucial role in managing operations and controlling flights. The need for a modern access control system became apparent as the existing on-premise system posed security risks due to its outdated infrastructure. To address this challenge, the decision was made to transition to a cloud-based access control system – Avigilon Alta. This case study delves into the successful implementation of Avigilon Alta, highlighting the installation process, key advantages, and the positive impact on ASL Building’s security and operational efficiency.

The Result
Avigilon Alta was implemented as the cloud-based access control solution for the ASL Building, providing a complete and smooth transition from the obsolete on-premise infrastructure. The migration was managed with minimal disruption to building operations, and the new platform introduced visitor pass management from day one. The cloud architecture eliminates the physical vulnerabilities of the previous system and removes the overhead of on-site server maintenance.
The ASL Building's IT and facilities teams now manage access permissions, visitor passes, and audit trails through a centralised cloud platform accessible from anywhere. The solution scales with the organisation's needs and receives automatic software updates, ensuring the system remains current and secure without manual intervention. The transition has significantly improved the security posture of a facility that plays a critical role in managing international flight operations.
