About the Client
The client is a banking group whose ServiceNow instance had aged past the point where it could support the features the business actually needed.
Client's Requirement
The bank came to us running a ServiceNow instance that had fallen years behind, with custom code nobody had fully documented since it was written. A handful of underlying issues kept surfacing across the engagement.
- Outdated ServiceNow Release: The platform had gone too long without a major upgrade, and new features the business wanted simply weren't available on the version they were running.
- Undocumented Custom Code: Years of customizations and configurations had accumulated without a clear record of what each one actually did or why it existed.
- Integration Gaps with Core Banking Systems: ServiceNow didn't connect cleanly with the bank's core banking platforms, leaving manual work sitting in the space between them.
- Compliance Exposure: GDPR-aligned controls hadn't kept pace with the platform's age, leaving gaps that put the bank at risk during audit.
Solution We Delivered
We brought the bank's ServiceNow instance current, without breaking the customizations the business had come to depend on. Our ServiceNow Consulting team addressed each gap identified in the requirement phase.
ServiceNow Release Upgrade
Aegis Softtech upgraded the instance to the latest ServiceNow release, unlocking features the bank had been unable to access on their outdated version.
Custom Code and Configuration Audit
We audited years of accumulated custom code and configurations before the upgrade, so nothing broke silently and every customization that carried forward did so for a reason.
Core Banking Integration
We resolved the integration gaps between ServiceNow and the bank's core banking systems, closing the manual work that used to sit between them.
GDPR-Aligned Compliance Controls
Compliance controls got embedded throughout the migration itself, rather than added on afterward as a separate project.
Migration Validation
The Aegis Softtech team validated functionality throughout the ServiceNow migration, catching issues before they reached production rather than after.
The Results
The client saw the following outcomes:
- Platform Currency:
The instance now runs on the latest ServiceNow release, giving the bank access to features it couldn't reach before. - Code Reliability:
Custom code and configurations now have a documented audit trail, replacing the guesswork that came with years of undocumented changes. - System Integration:
ServiceNow connects cleanly with core banking systems, removing the manual work that used to fill the gap between them. - Compliance Posture:
GDPR-aligned controls are now built into the platform itself, closing the exposure that had built up over years of falling behind. - Scalability:
The bank now has a platform built to support continued growth, instead of one that had already outgrown its own version.
