Want to Win in Access Control? Kill Your Legacy.

August 20, 2025

Why Integrators Who Resist Mobile Are Already Losing

Some integrators and access control providers are still clinging to legacy systems. The panel’s message to them was clear: evolve or become irrelevant.

“There are winners and losers in every wave of innovation,” said Rob Lydic, President of Wavelynx. “Those who stick with analog, proprietary systems will be left behind.”

Lee Odess, CEO of The Access Control Collective, put it bluntly: “If you’re an integrator not leaning into mobile right now, you’re losing your future customers.”

Integrators who invest in new skills, embrace mobile, and partner with forward-looking vendors are poised to win big. They’re already closing deals faster and helping customers unlock better user experiences and stronger ROI.

Key takeaway:

Mobile isn’t just a product shift—it’s a mindset. If you want to stay competitive, it’s time to kill your legacy and lead the future.
