Acre Security has introduced a new solution designed to modernize access control without forcing organizations into a full cloud transition.
Seamless Hybrid Modernization With Acre Bridge
The newly launched Acre Bridge connects existing on-premises access control systems directly to Acre Access Control (AAC). It enables organizations to adopt cloud capabilities at their own pace while continuing to operate legacy systems.
By synchronizing users, devices, and events across environments, Acre Bridge allows both traditional and cloud-native systems to function in parallel. This approach ensures a smooth transition while unlocking advanced features such as mobile credentials and centralized remote management.
Built Around Real-World Security Needs
The introduction of Acre Bridge reflects a key industry challenge—most organizations operate in hybrid environments and cannot move entirely to the cloud overnight.
According to Kumar Sokka, the company’s strategy has been shaped by partner feedback focused on flexibility and long-term growth.
“Our partners want modernization without disruption and a clearer path to long-term growth. Acre Bridge delivers that flexibility, and now our focus is execution—simplifying how we work together and enabling partners and customers to modernize with confidence.”
Strengthening Partner Ecosystem
Alongside the product launch, Acre is rolling out a refreshed global partner program tailored for hybrid and cloud-driven business models.
Enhancements include:
- RevCloud integration within the partner portal for streamlined quoting and ordering
- Updated program structure aligned with evolving partner needs
- Dedicated market development funds for qualified partners
These updates aim to support partners as they navigate increasingly complex security deployments.
Unified Security Platform Vision
Acre’s long-term strategy centers on a unified platform anchored by Acre Access Control. The system integrates:
- Access control
- Intrusion detection
- Visitor management
- Video capabilities
At the same time, Acre continues to support established on-premises systems, recognizing their reliability and ongoing importance in hybrid deployments.
ISC West 2026 Showcase
Acre Bridge will be officially unveiled at ISC West 2026, where attendees can experience the solution firsthand. The event takes place at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas from March 25–27, 2026.
