You guys have put a lot more work into your system. We had a keyless entry system installed in our building when we moved in for our staff and use it for our coworkers. I don't know the exact technology. One decision we made was no drop ins, so we only worry about month to month coworkers who have a fob. We also close the place up for the weekend currently and late at night set a deadbolt and alarm.
We've recently been adding to our system. Our original vendor is installing an intercom and some sort of buzzer so upstairs people can let people in downstairs without having to get up and go down to the door. This is for guests and visitors to the space, workers would have a fob naturally. We also can use a key to open the door permanently which we do for core hours 10-4pm when we have a receptionist/office manager and when we have events or big meetings. We recently got approved for a grant to improve accessibility for people in wheelchairs to our space. So soon, one of those big buttons will be integrated into the system. A person would still need a fob, but once the door releases they can then press a button and it will open if you follow. We go downhill from there as far as IT sophistication. We are trying to use Divvy to share the main meeting table and other assets eventually. But our billing system and membership info is still recorded on paper, though we're going to try PayPal for billing too. Alas a lot of hard work may come to nought, at least for some of us, now that the Olympics are over, Vancouver got a lot more challenging.
