Strengthen operational resilience with Genpact and ServiceNow
Helping your organization withstand and recover from all kinds of business disruption
Service disruptions are more frequent and more severe than ever. Everything from natural disasters and cyberattacks to service delivery chain failures can have an impact. It's time for a holistic and proactive approach to protect critical services.
Operational resilience in financial services has gained significant attention in the United Kingdom as regulatory bodies, such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), set stringent regulations. However, global threats call for a global approach.
Genpact is here to help. Our Operational Resilience solution is built on the ServiceNow Integrated Risk Management (IRM) platform. We use it to help financial services companies manage and maintain critical services, monitor operational resilience, and promptly respond and recover in the face of disruption.
Challenge
Advanced technologies, interconnected systems, and expanding networks. Dependency on third-party vendors and service providers. Sophisticated cyberattacks. These modern threats are increasing business vulnerability to disruption – especially in financial services.
There are also plenty of new regulations around data privacy and security. This puts pressure on organizations to reach increasingly high standards of operational governance.
And lastly, limited budgets, skills, and time make it difficult for enterprises to put in place a comprehensive operational resilience strategy.
As a result, the frequency and severity of operational disruption continue to rise as customer and employee satisfaction steadily falls.
Solution
We designed our Operational Resilience solution to protect critical business functions and minimize the impact of disruption on customers, employees, and stakeholders. The solution, implemented by Genpact on the ServiceNow IRM platform, provides a robust business continuity plan for enterprises to prepare for and respond to disruption.

Key benefits
Challenge: A financial services organization was struggling with complex manual operational risk management processes, reporting on resilience indicators, and setting up recovery plans. The company was also unable to document control testing results on its existing governance, risk, and compliance tool.
Solution: We customized the ServiceNow IRM platform to manage its important business services. We developed structured asset mapping, resilience assessments, and the ability to identify EWIs on potential breakage points. We also implemented the ServiceNow governance, risk management, and compliance audit module. This empowered the company to digitize, document, and report on its control testing.
Impact: The company saw a 50% reduction in the manual effort needed for asset mapping. The company was also able to monitor important business services in real time and the associated resilience indicators. Lastly, there was a 40% reduction in incidents due to EWIs and a vast improvement in the efficiency of its regulatory reporting processes. Read the case study.
