Compliance is the watchword at Alexander Forbes. This leading South African financial services company has deployed Veritas NetBackup software from Symantec in conjunction with Veritas CommandCentral Service software to meet its compliance requirements via proactive policy enforcement and remediation, a consolidated view of compliance to multiple regulations and standards, and automated evidence retention. This compliance pays dividends elsewhere too. By standardizing on this unified data protection and storage management solution, Alexander Forbes has been able to significantly improve the productivity of the staff involved in IT operations.
