September 19, 2023 - Z9 Security, creator of the access control industry's first and only true hardware and software interoperability ecosystem, is proud to announce that Mavin Technologies, a leading access control software platform provider, is now z9/op=n certified for its hardware support of Azure Access controllers. Mavin added support for Azure Access by integrating the z9/op=n unified technology platform into their management software. The z9/op=n integration not only offers Mavin VARs and customers a wider range of access control hardware options, but also provides ongoing and significant cost and time savings for the company.

Z9 Security's z9/op=n ecosystem is renowned for its interoperability and simplified integration of new hardware, allowing companies like Mavin to seamlessly incorporate a wide variety of access control hardware into their platforms. By joining the z9/op=n ecosystem, Mavin gains access to a growing community of partners, enabling them to diversify their hardware offerings through a single integration.

Mavin successfully integrated Azure Access hardware into their access control software platform using the Z9 Open SDK (software development kit). Undergoing a rigorous certification process, Mavin showcased the seamless integration of the hardware with their platform, highlighting advanced access control features, such as tamper detection and alarm processing.

Ken Larson, President of Z9 Security, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to welcome Mavin Technologies to the z9/op=n ecosystem. The integration of the Azure Access is a result of Mavin's dedication to enhancing the customer experience by expanding its support for multiple hardware platforms."

By leveraging the elegance and simplicity of the Z9 Open SDK, Mavin concluded that its ongoing time to market and lifecycle investments will achieve the highest ROI and remain optimized. The Azure Access hardware platform along with Z9 Open SDK integration is already deployed in the field with Mavin software.

"We are delighted to be part of the z9/op=n ecosystem and see this partnership as a significant milestone in our commitment to delivering innovative and open access control solutions," said John Seibold Sr., CEO, Mavin. "By integrating and offering Azure Access hardware (utilizing z9/op=n) with Mavin software, customers gain more choices and they can benefit from a modern, robust and cost-effective solution."

“The Azure Access hardware platform is a fantastic addition to the z9/op=n ecosystem,” said Evan Zinger, Director of Product Development at Azure Access Technology. “Our hardware platform gives companies like Mavin a high-performance, enterprise option for their security offerings. The Azure Access hardware topology and board footprints have familiarity to competing legacy systems, giving integrators and installers an easy transition to a more forward-looking and future-proof solution.”
