About Us

Middleware Associates, LLC (hereafter MA) is a privately held business that was founded in January, 2004, by Patrick Conners, as an enterprise security consulting firm. In 2005, MA worked closely with HID Global Corporation in the deployment and testing of the first PoE based controller named EDGE. Today, this product has spawned into the complete line of HID EDGE EVO PoE IP readers and controllers.

Since 2005, MA has developed software and partnered with other software providers to offer access control solutions directly to end users who have the IT resources to install the PoE controllers / readers. MA offers the remote installation of software, controller firmware upgrades, remote support and custom software development for integration purposes. In 2007, MA partnered with Midpoint Security in Lithuania to launch our Access Metrics software that included access control, time and attendance, IP digital video integration, intrusion integration and more. Today MA offers the software in North America under the name CredoID.

MA is now taking on more of an entrepreneurship role, researching the development of new access control technology with the objective of eliminating the need for traditional controllers and readers. This technology uses smartphones for access, strong encryption, and a cloud based platform, all of which lessens the cost to the end users. If you are interested in learning about our future technology feel free to Contact Us.
