HID - Workforce Identity and Access Management

AI is moving fast; the security industry is feeling it. In this episode, Matthew Lewis talks with Tony, founder and CTO of Remote Photo, live from ISC West. The two discuss how the rapid growth of AI is reshaping physical security and why integrations matter more than ever.
Tony shares what he is seeing on the show floor, including the real tension between innovation and staying secure. He also explains why integration volume has become one of the biggest challenges for modern security teams, and how open, reliable platforms help partners deliver more value with less friction.
The conversation covers:
How the “AI wave” is changing expectations for security systems
Why integration quality matters for both established and emerging vendors
What CTOs should consider when adopting AI inside their products and their business
How new tools are helping teams work faster, reduce costs, and improve outcomes
Why workflow improvements can be as important as new features

HIMSS 2026 Show Update: What Healthcare Leaders Want Most
In this HIMSS Show Update, host Matthew Lewis sits down with Scott Galvin and Lucas Gritziotis to break down the biggest themes shaping conversations on the show floor. Together, they explore how healthcare systems are working to simplify operations, reduce risk, and improve the patient journey.
They cover:
HL7 integrations with Epic, Cerner, and Oracle
Connecting systems across large health networks
New governance models for firearms detection
Practical ways to elevate patient experience
From RTLS innovations and our launch of HID Visitor Manager for Healthcare to a puppy-and-kitten exhibit that drew crowds, the message is clear: healthcare leaders want technology that works together.

Host Matthew Lewis kicks off 2026 with experts Phil Buck and Don Campbell, reflecting on the shifts they saw across physical identity and access management and what they expect to shape the months ahead.
The conversation looks at how organizations are modernizing long‑standing systems and why many are asking for more connected and scalable workflows, that integrate across platforms with broad version compatibility. The team explores what this means in day‑to‑day operations, from using event data, such as badge swipes, to plan around hybrid work and space usage, to making mobile access easier for people to discover, enroll in, and use.
They also spend time on new safety expectations in healthcare, including state‑level rules around weapons detection, and how a stronger visitor management approach can help protect staff and patients while keeping facilities welcoming.
It is a practical, forward‑looking discussion with real insights from a year of customer conversations; a useful listen for anyone thinking about where identity and workplace safety are headed in 2026.

In this episode, we tackle one of the most pressing questions organizations face today: how do you measure the ROI of physical identity and access management (PIAM)? 
Join host Matthew Lewis alongside experts Phil Buck and Don Campbell as they break down the tangible and intangible benefits of PIAM across industries—from healthcare to oil and gas to financial services.
The conversation explores real-world scenarios where onboarding efficiency, credential reissuance, and compliance automation translate into measurable savings and risk reduction. From high-frequency challenges like hospital staffing to high-stakes events such as major capital projects and M&A integrations, our guests share practical strategies for quantifying value beyond the spreadsheet.
Whether you’re a security leader, operations manager, or simply curious about the business case for PIAM, this episode offers insights that will reshape how you think about identity, compliance, and the bottom line.
