Platform update
Corporate VMS brought up to date so it could serve as the system of record, not a forgotten server.
Financial services · OCA
Migrating identities into access control that is actually used
The challenge
The standard importer does not fix real data
OCA needed to bring corporate access control up to date: refresh the platform and load the people roster with photographs from legacy sources. Person-by-person entry was not viable, and the manufacturer’s native tool did not cover cleanup, unification, or photo matching.
- Outdated access-control platform; real operations ran in parallel tools
- People data across several sources, with photos — messy and duplicated
- The manufacturer’s importer assumed a clean file that did not exist
Our work
Custom development on imperfect data
This case is software engineering and systems integration — not an Otiumtek Onyx or other Suite product deployment.
Consolidation and normalization
Merging spreadsheets, normalizing fields, and associating photographs with each identity.
Custom migrator
Tool built for OCA: takes unified data and imports people with photos straight into the corporate platform.

Current state
Updated platform and loaded roster
The corporate VMS was updated and populated with people and photos through the custom migration process, ready to operate on the system of record.
- A tool shaped for dirty data, not an ideal CSV
- Bulk load with traceability instead of manual entry
- A custom-software and systems-integration case
