History
- The history of vzm group began in 1968 with the idea of Rainer v. zur Mühlen
to write the diploma thesis about „Computer crime“ at the University of Cologne
- 1969 followed the first publication about this topic in a magazine
- Also in 1969 the founder responded to a call of a computer company to join
their scientific institute
- Lectures to key account customers about computer security were the basis for
consulting contracts
- 1972 foundation of the VON ZUR MUEHLEN‘SCHE GMBH, IT SECURITY CONSULTING &
ENGINEERING
- The technical approach grew over years so 1992 the engineering division
RZ-PLAN was founded out of the vzm-group of engineers
- Nov 2002 was a Highlight in the firms history:
We got the order of planning IT-Center no. 500
Integration
- You can‘t consider IT and Security/Safety separately
- We are consulting and planning under the aspects of integration
- We employ in our teams own
- Computer scientists
- Electronic engineers
- Electric engineers
- IT-Organisation specialists (to secure the workflow)
- Architects and building construction engineers
- Building technology engineers
- So we are able to meet the challenges of the time and solve problems for the
future
