About
Hawkeye Technologies specializes in building custom integration and middleware software for AMAG's Symmetry Physical Access Control System (PACS). Leveraging a close partnership with AMAG and more than 15 years of hands-on experience, the company enables organizations to extend, automate, and connect their security infrastructure with third-party systems in ways the out-of-the-box product cannot. Their product lineup includes Banner Interface (integrating student information systems with AMAG), 25Live (connecting class scheduling software to access control), Harmony (a device-agnostic interface for AMAG), Mobile Muster (mobilizing security staff), Colored Muster (visual muster reporting), elevator control integration (including touchscreen-based KONE Destination Dispatch systems), and Text File Import utilities. Beyond off-the-shelf products, Hawkeye Technologies offers fully custom software development for unique site requirements, having delivered solutions for military bases, university campuses, and major corporate headquarters. The platform is primarily aimed at enterprise security administrators, facilities managers, IT integrators, and physical security teams that need their access control system to communicate seamlessly with other business-critical software. If an organization's security workflow involves scheduling, HR, student management, or building automation, Hawkeye Technologies can bridge the gap with reliable, tested middleware.
