Hawkeye Technologies

What Hawkeye Technologies does

Hawkeye Technologies is a small private US software company that develops third-party middleware and extensions for AMAG Technology's Symmetry physical access control system (PACS). Founded in 2017 with operations referenced in Calera, AL and Vancouver, WA, the company reports 1-10 employees and more than 15 years of accumulated experience building integrations on the Symmetry platform. Its product portfolio centers on two core offerings, Harmony (a browser-based mobile interface that lets security personnel manage access, alarms, and mustering from iOS, Android, and desktop devices) and IMM (an Identity Management Middleware that vets cardholders against criminal justice databases with continuous background monitoring and automatic card deactivation), supplemented by elevator dispatch interfaces for KONE Polaris, Otis Compass, and ThyssenKrupp, plus integration modules for CollegeNET 25Live scheduling and Ellucian Banner student information systems, alongside Mobile Muster, Colored Muster, and a Text File Import utility.

The underlying technology is built on ASP.NET web applications that integrate with AMAG Symmetry through the platform's Virtual Hardware, XML Developer Kit, and Data Connect functions. Revenue comes from version-numbered perpetual software licenses (e.g., Harmony 8, Banner 8) tied to AMAG Symmetry releases, paired with an annual support subscription at 20% of purchase price for ongoing compatibility and upgrades. Distribution blends a product-led growth motion (direct download with 30-day risk-free trial and instant credit-card licensing) for smaller buyers with an enterprise field sales motion for custom development, purchase orders, and traditional procurement.

The company serves organizations already running AMAG Symmetry across higher education (Lane Community College), technology (Twitter's San Francisco headquarters), and corporate/retail campuses (Nike's Beaverton site), addressing gaps in out-of-box mobile operations, third-party system integrations, automated door scheduling, and emergency lockdown. Founder Ted Ehrich runs the business directly via a personal LinkedIn profile and [email protected], with no venture capital, parent company, or institutional investors identified in the source material.

Core offering

Hawkeye Technologies develops third-party software products that extend and integrate with AMAG's Symmetry physical access control system (PACS). Their portfolio includes a mobile web interface (Harmony), identity management middleware (IMM), elevator system integrations (KONE, Otis, ThyssenKrupp), and connectors for student information systems (Banner) and event scheduling platforms (25Live). The company also offers custom software development for sites with specialized PACS integration needs.

Product overview

Hawkeye Technologies develops third-party software products for AMAG's Symmetry physical access control system (PACS). The product portfolio consists of a core platform approach with multiple specialized modules: Harmony serves as the primary mobile interface enabling security personnel to manage access from any device; IMM (Identity Management Middleware) handles secure onboarding and continuous identity vetting; Elevator Interfaces (KONE, ThyssenKrupp, Otis) integrate destination dispatch elevator systems with Symmetry; and integration modules (25Live for event scheduling, Banner for student systems, Text File Import for general CSV data) connect external systems to AMAG. Additional offerings include Mobile Muster for offline mustering and Colored Muster for visual card holder display. All products are middleware that extends and integrates with AMAG Symmetry.

Products and services

• Harmony Web-based mobile interface for AMAG Symmetry PACS that allows security personnel to manage access, search card holders, conduct visitor management, perform muster operations, clear alarms, and monitor real-time activity from any device with a modern web browser (iOS, Android, desktop). Respects Symmetry User Role permissions and supports card readers (Grabba, Omnikey) and Zebra mobile badge printers.
• IMM (Identity Management Middleware) Middleware that securely onboards card holders and visitors into AMAG by vetting identities against authoritative sources and criminal justice databases. Supports automatic or manual registration with continuous background monitoring and automatic card deactivation in response to security alerts or for lost cards.
• 25Live Interface Integrates CollegeNET 25Live event scheduling with AMAG Symmetry to automatically manage door lock/unlock events based on class and event schedules. Includes a building-level and campus-wide lockdown capability for emergency response using XML Developer Kit integration.
• Banner Interface Integrates Ellucian Banner student information system with AMAG by automatically importing CSV file exports on a continual background basis. Includes an optional Error Emailer module for notifying users of import errors.
• Elevator Interfaces Middleware integrations that connect KONE Polaris Destination Dispatch, Otis Compass, and ThyssenKrupp Destination Dispatch elevator systems with AMAG Symmetry PACS, enabling elevators to operate like normal elevators using Virtual Hardware. Supports VIP, ADA, Service, and Code Blue call types with offline operation.
• Text File Import Provides a simple way to import tab- or comma-separated CSV files into Symmetry using Symmetry's Data Connect function. Supports field alignment, validation error display, and profile saving for recurring imports across both Standard and Global editions.
• Mobile Muster Offline-capable muster application for Android that allows security staff to take a mobile device offsite for mustering and running reports. Syncs in the background whenever a connection is available and works with Grabba card readers for offline muster and card verification.
• Colored Muster Displays card holders from a muster area in a colorized list with real-time updates, color coding based on personal data grouping, multiple monitor support, and printing capability for visual identification during emergency muster.
• Custom Software Development Bespoke AMAG Symmetry integrations and middleware developed for sites with unique requirements that off-the-shelf products cannot address, including federated access for military bases and other specialized use cases.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Kisi: Kisi is a cloud-native access control platform with API-first extensibility and mobile credentials, competing in adjacent segments to Hawkeye's Harmony mobile interface. Its API/SDK openness mirrors Hawkeye's integration specialization against a different platform backend.
• Alocity: Alocity delivers a mobile-first unified access control platform with identity management and credentialing—comparable in mobile-first, identity-centric capabilities to Hawkeye's Harmony and IMM combination on AMAG Symmetry.

Direct peers

• Openpath (Motorola Solutions): Openpath provides mobile-first access control that competes head-to-head with the mobile workflow that Harmony delivers on AMAG PACS. Both target enterprise customers seeking smartphone-based credentialing and centralized access management.
• Brivo: Brivo offers a cloud-native access control platform with mobile credentialing and a published SDK/integration ecosystem, functionally analogous to Hawkeye Harmony's mobile-first extension approach but at the platform layer rather than as third-party AMAG middleware.

Broad incumbents

• Software House (CCure 9000, Johnson Controls): CCure 9000 is a major enterprise PACS incumbent serving the same high-security customers as AMAG Symmetry. Enterprise integration middleware like Hawkeye's is typically required to extend platforms of this scale with mobile, identity vetting, and elevator integrations.
• Genetec Security Center: Genetec's Security Center unifies access control, video, and intrusion detection for enterprise and government customers—a broader incumbent competing for the same unified-physical-security budgets that Hawkeye's Harmony-and-IMM stack targets on the AMAG platform.
• HID Global (Mercury Security / Identiv): HID Global (including Identiv and Mercury Security) supplies card readers, credentials, and access control platforms. Hawkeye explicitly supports HID Prox, iClass, Mifare, CAC, and TWIC credentials via Grabba/Omnikey integrations—making HID the upstream hardware ecosystem peer adjacent to Hawkeye's credentialing and middleware work.
• LenelS2 (Carrier): LenelS2's OnGuard is one of the leading enterprise PACS platforms, comparable to AMAG Symmetry. Both sit in the segment where Hawkeye-style integration middleware (mobile, identity vetting, elevator integrations) is needed to extend PACS out of the box, making LenelS2 a direct adjacents peer in the same architectural category.
• ACRE Security (Feenics / Open Options / Vanderbilt): ACRE Security owns multiple PACS brands (Feenics, Open Options, Vanderbilt) that compete in the same enterprise physical access control category as AMAG Symmetry. Hawkeye targets the AMAG ecosystem specifically; ACRE's overlapping PACS offerings illustrate the broader integration-middleware opportunity and compete for the same end-customer security budgets.

Others

• AMAG Technology (parent platform): AMAG is Hawkeye's anchor platform partner and the company develops exclusively for Symmetry. While not a competitor, AMAG is the most directly comparable company in the access-control-integration ecosystem because every Hawkeye product is purpose-built around AMAG's APIs and hardware abstraction.
