Rapid Application Mapping for a Global Banking Institution
Client Profile
-
Industry: Financial Services / Banking
-
Size: Large Enterprise
-
Objective: Rapid compliance readiness through ServiceNow CMDB, CSDM, ITOM, SAM, HAM, and SecOps
Executive Overview
A large financial institution faced urgent compliance requirements and needed rapid visibility into its infrastructure, applications, and configurations. While the organization was already using ITSM and CMDB, it lacked enterprise-wide discovery, structured service mapping, and CSDM alignment.
ConfigureTek, working jointly with ServiceNow, mobilized a rapid-response team to implement automated discovery and foundational service mapping — enabling immediate compliance support and long-term CMDB maturity.
The Challenge
-
Limited visibility into infrastructure and application dependencies
-
CMDB in place but not fully leveraged
-
Compliance-driven need for rapid discovery
-
No structured roadmap for enterprise-wide mapping
-
Data model inconsistencies impacting reporting and governance
The institution required speed, accuracy, and architectural discipline — without disrupting existing operations.
