Modernizing access control without starting over

Your access control system was built to last. Many security teams continue to rely on platforms that have delivered reliable performance for years.

Acre Bridge gives you a practical path to the cloud.

By connecting existing Acre on-premises systems to Acre Access Control, it enables you to migrate at your own pace while keeping your current environment running smoothly. That means you can modernize gradually, maintain operational continuity, and ensure a smoother, lower-disruption transition to the cloud.

Frequently Asked Questions

Let’s Talk
Is Acre Access Control secure in the cloud?

Yes. Acre Access Control runs on cloud infrastructure with encryption and access controls throughout. Your data stays yours, and your security posture improves rather than shifts when you move.

What happens to my current system while I migrate?

It stays live. Acre Bridge connects your existing on-premises system to Acre Access Control and synchronizes credentials, policies, and events throughout the transition. Nothing goes dark.

How is this different from switching to another cloud vendor?

When you move within Acre, your credentials, schedules, and permissions carry over. Your existing hardware compatibility carries forward too. The transition is additive, not a rebuild.

Do I have to migrate everything at once?

No. Move site by site, system by system, at the pace your operations allow. Acre Professional Services sequences the work to fit your environment, not the other way around.

Does moving to the cloud cost more?

For most organizations, the total cost of ownership is lower in the cloud. You remove the overhead of on-premises servers, maintenance contracts, and version upgrades, and replace them with a predictable operating model. Use our TCO calculator to see how the numbers compare for your environment.
