Intralot adopts Cobit 5

Intralot’s product development follows a structural approach that combines information from different sources, including market research, customer requirements, advances in technology and the gaming sector, compliance and security requirements as well as collaborative initiatives. To this effect, COBIT 5 delivers value from enterprise information systems by linking business goals to IT goals and bridging the gap between control requirements, business risks and technical issues.

The main principles of Cobit 5, which aims to generate value, address the governance and management of information and related technology from an enterprise end-to-end perspective, apply a single integrated framework relevant with other standards and frameworks, provide a holistic approach of governance and management over enterprise IT and separate governance from management, all enable Intralot to achieve its strategic goals and maximize business and customer benefits.
