A higher education Institute was looking to implement business process modernization across a wide range of functions across the university. This included HR Services, Audit and Risk Management, Asset Management and Inventory tracking as well as establishment of the organizational portfolio through service mapping. SMEs had identified significant inefficiencies and requirements around process optimization. This included needs for automation, task assignment and accountability, improved user experience and clear visibility for audit and reporting purposes.

This large, distributed enterprise needed to get control over their security operations. They faced dire consequences for strict regulatory non-compliance, customer reputation, as well as a mountain of security threats. The customer had multiple security platforms with no single place to gather threat intelligence or see security events. When ConfigureTek arrived on-site, the customer had 12 million open security incidents, was missing 99% of security events, and facing severe compliance penalties.

ConfigureTek was brough in by ServiceNow and the customer jointly to help with quickly meeting a compliance need within the financial sector. ConfigureTek working with ServiceNow immediately mobilized a team to perform automated discovery and mapping in a rapid format. Our approach helps companies quickly understand not only infrastructure but also applications and configurations across their enterprise. The use cases of this initial foundational project are plenty. The company was using ITSM and the Configuration Management Database (CMDB), but needed consultation on how to fully utilize the applications. The company also desired to utilize Discovery as part of the effort to shore up the CMDB and gain insight into their network configurations.
