Let’s build a smarter planet Government

The town of Karviná has a rich history predetermined by its strategically advantageous location on the trade routes from Hungary to the Baltic countries. This location caused Karviná to become a commercial, economic and cultural center for the whole area. The town experienced huge development mainly after the discovery of black coal in the second half of the 18th century.

The OpportunityFor decades the town of Karviná and its surroundings were an area with a high concentration of coal mining and related industries. More recently, this town has become a commercial and tourist center. A new era has brought new development in construction and commercial activities, and Karviná is becoming a town with dynamic development offering a good choice for a comfortable lifestyle. The city needed a solution that would free up its limited IT personnel to manage and expand the city’s IT environment, automating many of its time-consuming, day-to-day personnel administration processes, while ensuring the security of its IT systems.

What Makes It SmarterEnsuring comprehensive IT security for a growing city requires the centralization and intelligent automation of many processes, including monitoring and preventing unauthorized access to the city’s IT systems. Karviná City has implemented a rules-based identity management system that automates employee account access based on employee position, role and department. The system then uses an automated account reconciliation process to detect and correct (or remove) any accounts that are not in agreement with the predefined rules. A closed-loop reconciliation process identifies “orphan” or out-of-date accounts, and automatically

What if a single system could manage IT systems access and security for all of your city employees automatically and efficiently?

“Centralization, automation and a roles-based identity management system have simplified our IT access management significantly, freeing our IT professionals to build and expand our network as the city grows.”

removes account access when an employee ceases to be employed by the city. The city can now be confident that employees who need access to accounts get it quickly and efficiently, while the security of its IT systems is assured.
