Doordeck kit out Cisco's Mi-IDEA Innovation Centre in Manchester as sole access control provider

26 Sep 2017

Doordeck were thrilled to have been selected by Cisco to kit out their new innovation centre, Mi-IDEA, in the Manchester Science Park. The platform means users will now be able to get in and out, share access and visitor passes entirely from their smartphone.

We’ve been spending a lot of time up in Manchester in recent months, working with Cisco to advise and assist at the brand-new Mi-IDEA innovation centre, where we’re thrilled to have been selected as the sole provider of their access control. 

Mi-IDEA is located in the Bright Building, one of the most technology-enabled buildings in Europe, and is located at the heart of the Manchester Science Park on the university campus. The Bright Building was conceived as the nerve-centre of digital innovation in the north-west, with integrated smart systems and a light and airy design which have seen it described as ‘a bright space, for bright people with bright ideas’ — a natural fit for Doordeck, we hope!
These latest inroads give us the opportunity to reach more users than ever before and offer us a fantastic showcase and valuable feedback in the north-west. We’re also discussing the possibility of further integration with the access control system which serves the rest of the building, potentially offering every single building user the opportunity to experience Doordeck.
