Case Study: Alianza del Valle Cooperative achieves stronger perimeter security and simplified centralized management with Fortinet

Alianza del Valle - Customer Case Study

Alianza del Valle is a 45‑year‑old savings and credit cooperative in Quito, Ecuador, with more than 10 branches and 140 employees. Faced with manual and semi‑automatic procedures that slowed digital transactions and made it hard to enforce security policies and authenticate members, the IT team needed a reliable, centralized network security architecture to protect digital channels and streamline operations.

Working with channel partner Telalca, Alianza del Valle implemented Fortinet’s platform to centralize management, strengthen perimeter security, enable secure transaction authentication, and remove manual processes. The solution delivered faster, more reliable digital services, an ROI in about 24 months, and supported roughly 20% growth in product transactions and financial services since 2009, while improving member satisfaction.
