Case Study: Poste Italiane (Italian Post Office) achieves 60% faster testing and 20% quicker audits with Software AG's ARIS

Poste Italiane S.p.A. re-engineers business processes to improve auditing

Poste Italiane, Italy’s leading postal operator and one of Europe’s largest, has grown into a diverse logistics, banking, insurance and communications group with 154,000 employees, 14,000 offices and 16 subsidiaries. That scale and the need to comply with many different laws and standards made traditional, location-based auditing impractical; the company needed a flexible, scalable, single internal-control system to give a consistent, auditable view of compliance across the enterprise.

Poste Italiane adopted a process‑driven GRC approach using Software AG’s ARIS (Architect, Publisher and Risk & Compliance Manager), with IDS Scheer Consulting tailoring the platform. By modeling processes, mapping risks and controls, centralizing audit data and automating testing, the company created a single corporate view of compliance—cutting testing time by about 60%, speeding audits by 20%, eliminating redundant systems, freeing staff for value‑added work and improving reporting, transparency and continuous process improvement.
