Tired of dealing with email requests for access to a specified room? And tired of having to find those email threads at the end of the year to compile for an auditor?
Archon removes this burden by streamlining the room access request and audit process. Sitting on top of the access control system, Archon allows for a requester to request access to a specified room or group and for an approver (or multiple approvers) to grant/deny access once it has been requested.
Upon an access grant, Archon will automatically add the access to the user’s profile in the access control system, ensuring both the requester/approver never have to touch the access control system.
Archon then stores the request/approval dialogue so that at the end of a month/quarter/year, an audit is kept and utilized detailing the interaction.
Reports can also be created and automated detailing who has access to a certain room during a period of time, who has requested access to that room, and who the approver(s) of the room is.
Customized workflows can be created to ensure access goes through the proper channels before access is granted.
Q1. Is Archon on-premise or in the cloud?
For almost all customers, Archon is an on-premise solution that runs behind the organization’s firewall.
Q2. Can Archon run in the cloud?
Yes. If the resources Archon talks to are all cloud-hosted, Archon can run in the cloud.
Q3. What does Archon run on?
Archon runs on a modern version of Windows Server, with modest hardware requirements. Some customers may elect to have braXos supply a physical server, but customers are free to supply their own dedicated server, either physical or virtual.
Q4. Who installs Archon? Who composes the workflows?
Unless specifically requested otherwise, a braXos deployment engineer installs Steward and composes the integrations on the customer’s behalf. Customers only need to supply their requirements, participate in acceptance testing, and provide access to the Steward server — braXos is a TeamViewer corporate customer, but can use whatever the organizational standard for remote access is.
Q5. How is Archon licensed?
Archon is licensed as a perpetual license. The connectors used in the composition of the full Archon integration are similarly licensed. braXos professional services are also generally used in Archon and connector installation and configuration.
Q6. How long does it take to get Archon installed and configured?
Depending upon the complexity of the integration, and whether a new connector needs to be created or an existing one enhanced, the timelines can vary. A standard integration timeline from start to finish is around 8 weeks. This includes server install, network connectivity, configuration, testing, modifications, as needed, go live and initial support.
