An Encounter with Unfinished Business in Access Control
It’s not every day that you get the chance to welcome back an industry pioneer to your team. But at acre security, that’s precisely the exhilarating experience we are having with the return of our Executive Vice President of Cloud Business Development, Paul Di Peso.
Paul is no stranger to us; his intriguing story of leaving and coming back is an inspiration for the entire team. He brings in a fresh perspective coupled with deep industry knowledge, making him an invaluable asset to acre security.
In an enlightening interview, Paul discloses the reason behind his unexpected return to acre. An opportunity in the cutting-edge sector of facial recognition had pulled him away from his work at the company. But just like a homecoming, he realized that his passion and purpose lay within the niches of the cloud philosophy arena that he helped formulate during his previous tenure at acre security.
In Paul's words, acre was more than just a company; it was a brainchild, developed from scratch with immense heart and soul, just like one of your kids.
A New Era of Access Control
Looking back now, he sees a company that has transformed significantly. In the past two years, acre has undertaken a journey of revamping its product positioning and marketing on a global scale. The focus has shifted towards offering a unified global platform that caters to different customer cultures and regional requirements like GDPR and privacy specifics.
But, the most significant change, however, isn’t in the brand aesthetics. It’s in the essence of how access control is understood. It's no longer just about opening doors; it's about gathering a diverse range of metadata that provides insights into businesses and workflows.
This paradigm shift in the concept of access control is what makes acre stand out. Paul lauds the 'unified' approach acre security has adopted, offering customers a seamless user interface that simplifies the navigation. This approach enables companies on both cloud and premise to use one simple UX, making the migration journey easier.
acre security: A Customer-Centric Approach
Paul believes that acre's unique selling point is its close interaction with customers, listening to their needs, and providing solutions accordingly. It’s the conscientious effort to listen and adapt for the customer's sake that sets acre apart from the rest.
By creating things in the backend that provide value for the customers, even things they didn't know they needed, acre is setting industry standards high. And coming back to ACRE, Paul is ready to spearhead this mission.
In this dynamic industry, Paul’s innovative insights and the customer-centric approach is a beacon of light leading us towards a promising future. So join us in welcoming back Paul Di Peso, excited about the fresh ideas and innovations he’s set to bring to the acre family!
