Raiffeisen Bank Aval, Ukraine depends on Axxon Intellect
Kiev, Ukraine
Any bank is a special kind of institution, with a product that demands particular vigilance and security. A bank must have the trust and loyalty of its clients, who need to be assured that their savings are under careful guard. So the security system for a bank must be: 1) comprehensive (defend not just central offices but also all branches, departments, and other affiliates), 2) fault-tolerant and absolutely reliable, 3) flexible and manageable from a central hub, and 4) easily scalable (since the bank may be constantly opening new branches and installing new ATMs, etc.).
The Intellect integrated security platform fit the bill precisely, having previously proved its capabilities at Raiffeisen Bank Aval with flying colours. But the bank is continually growing and adding new branches, making it necessary to supplement and broaden the system. In essence, the bank needed to install a wide range of security hardware and then tie it together with Intellect software.
In 2010, Raiffeisen Bank Aval, Axxonsoft, and leading Ukrainian security systems integrator Istagroup joined forces to accomplish this strategic task. The security system needed to include all bank sites (branches, offices, ATMs, cash pickup/drop-off points, etc.) and allow the management of each site from a central hub. Currently the Intellect-based video management system protects 630 bank locations, with around 2,500 IP cameras and 9,500 analogue cameras made by JVC, a long-term Axxonsoft partner.
