After the previous time recording system had been dis- continued by the manufacturer and thus ceased to be maintained, the municipality started looking for an al- ternative solution. They finally found what they were looking for at OMNISECURITY S. A., a provider of complex secu - rity solutions ranging from access control and video surveillance to integrated security control centres, com- plemented by solutions for ticketing systems. In 2019, OMNISECURITY successfully extended its product portfolio with ZEUS® eXperience from ISGUS ideally suited for sophisticated time recording and workforce management systems. Thanks to excellent experiences with OMNISECURITY from previous projects, the municipality of Bertrange opted for the ZEUS® X solution from ISGUS in spring 2020. “The implementation of the new system went sur- prisingly well,” recalls Jeff Veyder, Technical Manager at the municipality of Bertrange, and at the same time co-responsible project manager for the introduction of the new time recording system. Following a preparation and test phase, project imple- mentation took place in several stages. First, the mu- nicipal building yard, the sports halls, nursery schools, child day-care centres and the school complex were equipped with ISGUS terminals. In a second step, all time recording devices required for the municipal admi - nistration itself were installed. During the preparation phase, among other things, the customer‘s existing MIFARE DESFire key fobs/trans - ponders were additionally provided with the specific ZEUS® coding by means of an ISGUS desktop reader and a coding station including software specially de- veloped for this purpose. This process took place during ongoing operations, bringing the municipal employees into contact with the ZEUS® system for the first time. Needless to say, the existing employee master data had to be transferred from the old to the new system, the complex working time and shift patterns had to be entered, holiday credits and other absence-related pa- rameters had to be defined and opening balances had to be assigned to the personal time accounts. While ZEUS® X and the ISGUS IT 8210 T&A terminals were gradually put into operation, the legacy system and the old terminals were taken out of operation in parallel.
