Deloitte Russia

Deloitte has been active in Russia since the early 1990s. The company’s first office in Russia comprised just a single room with one big table around which all employees were seated. Clients were received in the same room and there were no secretaries, with everything done by the client service professionals themselves. Today, Deloitte has offices in three major Russian cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. It has successfully delivered projects for financial institutions, state enterprises, energy producers, metals and manufacturing plants, and retail companies.

Pre-existing situation & UTCFS’s role

Previously, the offices of Deloitte in Russia were equipped with non-UTCFS products, but these installations did not provide the stable security system Deloitte required. There was no integration between access control system and video surveillance, which was one of the major specifications of Deloitte at that time. UTCFS was able to offer a turnkey solution for the complex integrated security system that Deloitte was looking for.

UTCFS’s solution

UTCFS provided Deloitte with a complete integrated security solution from fire detection to access control, intrusion detection and video surveillance. The Alliance software package provides the ideal way to manage these different systems through a simplified security management interface. Because of this integration of systems, it becomes possible to verify events: when an intrusion detector reports an alarm it is automatically verified using the video surveillance system. With this solution, UTCFS has enabled Deloitte to manage the security of six large offices in Moscow, Almaty, St. Petersburg and Kiev. Following the success of these installations, the system has now been proposed for several further Deloitte sites spread out over at least three countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
