Migration Without the Mayhem
The hardest part of moving off legacy access control usually isn’t the migration itself. It’s deciding to start when no one has given you a clear answer about what the process actually looks like. In Part 1 of Genea’s migration webinar series, we break down what it really takes to move from legacy, on-prem access control to a more open, cloud-native system.
Hosted by Jessica Chadwick, Lead Product Manager at Genea, this session features Brandon Ford, Sales Engineer, and Mike Maxsenti, SVP at Genea, as they walk through the migration process from both a strategic and technical perspective. The conversation covers what happens before cutover, how data preparation and system mapping work, how hardware decisions get made without assuming a full rip and replace, and what a realistic timeline can look like from kickoff to implementation.
You’ll also hear why migrations often stall, what staying on a closed system may already be costing your team, and how Genea helps reduce disruption through phased planning, Mercury-based takeovers, identity integrations, open APIs, webhooks, mobile credentials, and cloud-native infrastructure.
This webinar is part of a two-part series on demystifying access control migration. While this first session focuses on the migration playbook, the second session will feature a real Genea customer sharing their experience, including what surprised them, what they learned, and what they would tell other teams still evaluating a move.
