The complete guide to calculating the ROI of a Visitor Management System
The evolution from simple visitor management point solutions to broader workforce security platforms is happening, as businesses address increasingly complex security problems that touch on broader stakeholder groups. Single Visitor Management Systems (VMS) can solve entry problems; however, enterprise organizations require a more robust system in place to handle health, safety, and security issues for employees, contractors, and visitors.
Traditional VMS point solutions were limited in their scope. Today, modern workforce security platforms directly provide, or can integrate across, multiple functions to offer a solution of greater value. Reducing the total spend on software, management, automation, customizations and maintenance, and allowing for increased investment in other areas of need.
In this solution guide, we explore the typical costs involved in such a deployment, and define the benefits—both tangible and intangible—an organization can expect upon implementation. We will guide you through the process of finding the value of a VMS investment.
