DIMENZIÓ – Case Study

The Eternal Problem: Too Much to do with too Few Resources in too Little Time

Lajos Kovacs, CIO of DIMENZIÓ, a leading Hungarian insurance company, was faced with the same problems confronting virtually every company and every CIO – how to achieve and demonstrate IT compliance on a limited budget, with limited resources.

When researching the applications that would enable DIMENZIÓ to be PSZAF (the Hungarian equivalent of COBIT 4.1) compliant, Lajos was faced with solutions that were either too complex, too costly, or simply too inadequate.

The Fateful Encounter

Part of Lajos’ search for his Holy Grail of compliance included his attendance at the ‘Conference on Legal Compliance and IT Risk Assessment’, held by PricewaterhouseCoopers. Presenting at the conference was Shay Smooha, Founder, Vice President, Vanadium-Soft.

Following Shay’s presentation, and with Lajos’ interest piqued, Lajos approached Shay with further questions about Vanadium and the Vanadium platform.

The Eternal Solution - Vanadium

Following further assessment of competing technologies and further contact with Vanadium, Lajos was convinced that he had found the optimal solution to his compliance problems.

The comprehensive, out-of-the-box compliance and hardening templates, coupled with its extensive reporting capabilities made the Vanadium platform the obvious selection as DIMENZIÓ’s compliance application of choice. The reasonable cost of Vanadium was the icing on the cake.

Lajos Kovacs, CIO of DIMENZIÓ: "The search for the optimal tool to comply with our strict IT regulatory requirements was a lengthy and thorough one. The ultimate choice of the Vanadium automated platform was unanimous. It offers us a unique solution that is going to save us our most important resource - the time of our IT professionals; whilst easily adjusting and taking into consideration our unique business environment.

Installation of Vanadium and staff training required only a matter of hours and I now have a bird’s eye view and total control of our regulatory compliance".
