In this episode of Badge Banter, Lindsay Martin-Nez sits down with Chris Randall from Elatec for a conversation that goes beyond credentials. They dive into how interoperability is shaping the next era of access control — from higher ed’s one-card systems to the industry’s slow but steady shift toward mobile.

Chris shares how Elatec helps organizations read just about every type of credential out there, why legacy systems still dominate the market, and how relationship-building is still the real key to success in security.
