Key takeaways

AMAG launched a wallet-enabled ecosystem for mobile credentialing.

The ecosystem aims to replace traditional access methods like keys and cards with NFC and digital wallets.

The shift is towards seamless, appless mobile-first access control systems.

As mobile credentials increasingly replace traditional keys and cards, organizations are grappling with how to streamline access across a diverse user base. With technologies like NFC and digital wallets gaining traction, the conversation is shifting from “if” mobile access is the future to “how” it should be delivered.
