Smart Campus
One credential across the gate, hostel, library and lab is usually a policy decision rather than a technical one. The readers you own already support it.
Every system on your campus was bought by a different department, and each one arrived with its own card, its own app and its own database.
So a student carries three credentials, the hostel register does not agree with the gate log, and nobody can answer a simple question about who was on site last night without opening four systems. The real cost is that no number from any of them survives a dispute.
