Overview

A global leader in insurance brokerage, risk management and consulting services operates across more than 130 countries, delivering critical advisory and brokerage services to enterprises worldwide. With a geographically distributed workforce and regionally managed IT operations, service reliability and governance shape the backbone of business performance.

Yet, their was anchored on a legacy Remedy platform that had become unwieldy after years of customization. As business needs evolved and operations stretched across continents, this platform simply couldn't keep up.

Recognizing the need for scalable growth and consistent operations, the organization partnered with us to modernize their service management ecosystem. Leveraging ITSM and ITOM, we set out to build a unified, automation-ready foundation for global operations.

The Challenge

Decentralized processes and legacy complexity limiting operational agility

The Challenge

The organization was up against a challenging reality:

  • A legacy Remedy platform burdened by heavy customization and resulting technical debt
  • Escalating maintenance and scalability issues hampering growth
  • Decentralized regional practices for incident, change and request management
  • Non-standard workflows and reporting metrics across geographies
  • Fragmented visibility with limited cross-regional transparency
  • Reliance on manual triage and email-based ticketing causing delays and inefficiencies
  • Inconsistent SLA governance and performance tracking

All these factors led to operational silos and slowed resolution leaving the service management ecosystem unable to truly support a business of their global scale.

The Objective

Establishing a standardized, scalable and automation-ready service ecosystem

The path forward was clear: build for agility and unify operations. Their ambitions included:

The Objective

The path forward was clear: build for agility and unify operations. Their ambitions included:

  • Replacing the legacy Remedy platform with a modern, scalable ServiceNow solution
  • Standardizing service management processes globally
  • Boosting transparency, governance and cross-geography oversight
  • Automating high-volume service workflows to reduce manual intervention
  • Enhancing SLA tracking, reporting and compliance visibility
  • Enabling intelligent automation and opening the door to future AIOps capabilities
  • Giving end users a more consistent and intuitive experience

The true goal? More than modernization it was establishing a unified, global service management framework rooted in best practices.

The Solution

Our approach made transformation practical, sustainable and innovation-ready.

The Solution

Implementing ServiceNow ITSM and ITOM as a unified global foundation

We rolled out ServiceNow ITSM and ITOM to standardize incident, change and problem management. This centralized governance, boosted regional alignment and created a strong backbone for future automation, orchestration and AIOps — everything built for scale, not just for today but for what’s next.

Automating high-volume email-to-ticket workflows

Addressing manual triage was pivotal. We automated the ingestion of more than 400 email-to-ticket workflows, with tickets now assigned based on intelligent categorization and contextual routing. In effect, our solution slashed manual handoffs, improved accuracy and gave support teams back valuable time — accelerating responses to what truly matters.

Designing a comprehensive service catalog with automated fulfillment

A structured end-user service catalog brought clarity to requests and empowered automated fulfillment. High-volume, repetitive service demands stopped bottlenecking operations. Instead, standardized processes and governance came to the forefront, giving every region a consistent and elevated user experience.

Executing seamless legacy data migration and reporting modernization

We preserved historical continuity by migrating legacy ITSM data from Remedy into ServiceNow, ensuring data integrity along the way. The introduction of robust reporting and dashboard capabilities meant clearer SLA tracking, enhanced performance visibility and new analytics-driven decision-making. Better data, better governanc plain and simple.

The Impact

Establishing global consistency, accelerating resolution and enabling future-ready automation

The ripple effect of this transformation is unmistakable.

The Impact

1. From decentralized operations to standardized global governance

Workflows once spread across the map now run through a single ServiceNow platform. The outcome? Elimination of process variation, consistent global governance and lifecycle management. With incident, change and request management firmly aligned to standardized best practices, there’s greater accountability, predictability and clarity — empowering leadership with data and confidence to act decisively.

2. Faster resolution and improved service reliability

Automating over 400 email-to-ticket workflows lightened the manual load and put the right issues in front of the right teams, faster than ever. Response and resolution times improved measurably. Enhanced SLA and reporting capabilities reinforced compliance oversight — making service delivery not just more reliable but more predictable.

3. Operational efficiency at enterprise scale

A modern service catalog, backed by automated fulfillment, took inconsistency out of the equation and liberated support teams from repetitive tasks. Freed capacity meant more focus on high-value work, while service quality never skipped a beat across borders.

4. A scalable foundation for intelligent automation and AIOps

The immediate benefits are just the start. This ServiceNow architecture stands as a durable platform ready for future innovation. Automation, orchestration and AIOps can expand without the drag of legacy customizations or siloed systems holding things back. 

In short, this wasn’t just an IT upgrade. It marked a redefinition of what global service management can achieve, standardized, scalable and primed for innovation.

Conclusion

This transformation demonstrates a deep commitment to operational excellence and adaptable global governance. By uniting deep expertise in enterprise transformation with field-tested ServiceNow capabilities, we ensured a seamless, forward-focused leap from legacy limitations to a modern workflow ecosystem.

Where silos once stood, there’s now global consistency. Where delays lingered, reliability prevails. And underpinning it all, there’s a resilient foundation built not just for today’s challenges, but for tomorrow’s possibilities.
