Connecting the Disconnected – The Real Job of Innovation

In a world where technology evolves at lightning speed, the challenge for many organizations is not finding the newest tools, but making their existing ones work together. At CyberTwice, we believe true innovation doesn’t always mean replacing everything with the latest hardware. Sometimes, it’s about connecting what you already have to the platforms you rely on most.

We call it innovation without disruption.

Innovation Without Disruption

When enterprises migrate to cloud-based collaboration platforms like Microsoft Teams, legacy technology—such as intercoms, paging systems, or IP cameras—often gets left behind. Traditionally, integrating these devices meant costly upgrades, complex infrastructure changes, or running multiple systems in parallel.

CyberTwice solves this by bridging the gap between legacy SIP devices and Microsoft Teams—securely, simply, and without the need for extra hardware or software. With CyberGate, any SIP video intercom, IP camera, or IP paging system can become part of your Teams environment, complete with two-way audio, live video, and the ability to open doors or make announcements directly from Teams.

The result: a modern, connected experience without the heavy investment of a full system replacement.

Use Cases That Prove the Point

1. Corporate Campuses – Centralized Access ControlA global financial services company faced the challenge of managing over 100 doors and 50 cameras across multiple sites. Different access systems created complexity, and replacing them all wasn’t feasible. By implementing CyberGate, they connected all existing SIP devices to Microsoft Teams, enabling any employee to manage visitor access from their Teams app. The result? $1.2M saved in hardware replacement costs, stronger security, and a seamless user experience.

2. Logistics & Warehousing – Streamlined SurveillanceA major logistics provider with ten sites and 24/7 operations used CyberGate to centralize gate and building access control. Paired with our recording solution ATTEST, they securely stored and replayed camera and intercom footage in the cloud for compliance and auditing. The shift reduced the need for multiple on-site security staff while improving monitoring capabilities—saving over $800K in the process.

3. Education – Safer Campuses, Simplified OperationsA university campus spread over several buildings relied on multiple legacy intercom and paging systems. With CyberGate, the IT team connected all devices into Microsoft Teams, enabling receptionists, security, and faculty to respond to door calls, make public announcements, or monitor live video feeds from a single platform. No new hardware, no complex wiring—just safer, faster communication across the entire campus.

Our Open, Collaborative Approach

We believe in openness—not locking customers into proprietary hardware, but supporting the brands they already own. That’s why CyberGate is compatible with leading intercom, paging, and camera manufacturers, and why we partner with OEMs to embed our solutions directly into their products. This ensures maximum flexibility for customers while strengthening the ecosystem for our partners.

With more than 1,200 customers across 35 countries, CyberTwice is proving that you don’t need to rip and replace to modernize. You just need the right bridge.

In short: Innovation isn’t about replacing—it’s about connecting. And at CyberTwice, we connect the disconnected, so you can get the most out of both your legacy systems and your cloud investments.
