This leading global financial services organisation practices sound risk management and strive to build sustainable, healthier communities for life. The company’s IT leadership team replaced its existing governing technology investments solution with ServiceNow’s Application Portfolio Management (APM) and App Engine. Soon, however, the organisation realised it needed an implementation partner to help it get the most out of its ServiceNow investment and optimise its technology acquisition workflows.
Recognising Thirdera’s deep expertise in ServiceNow implementations, the organisation engaged Thirdera to customise its ServiceNow application using ServiceNow best practices. The new app could be used globally to serve as a single point of intake for all technology requests. Thirdera configured a custom app and user-friendly portal for employees across the organisation to make technology investment requests. In addition, Thirdera provided Organisational Change Management (OCM) services, launching an application globally and providing learning and training artifacts that were incorporated into the client’s own learning management system to support training needs.
With Thirdera’s help, the organisation was able to implement a fully configurable and easy-to-scale solution that improved operational efficiency, streamlined IT governance workflows, and improved user satisfaction and adoption across the organisation.

|
The organisation’s existing governing technology investments solution was outdated, so it wanted to improve by leveraging the ServiceNow platform. |
|
|
|
The organisation needed to re-engineer and optimise its IT governance workflows to ensure that the ServiceNow platform would meet organisational needs. |
|
The technology acquisition request and approval process were time-consuming and complicated for both end-users and the enterprise architecture team. |
|
|
The organisation needed thorough training to increase the adoption of the new ServiceNow platform and ensure everyone had the support and information they needed to use the solution effectively. |
The global financial services organisation purchased ServiceNow APM to enable its IT team to track, visualise, and prioritise business applications across the organisation. The data they gathered provided their Enterprise Architecture Office with critical information to govern the technology approval process and follow up on new technology for the company to invest in. However, they needed a technology partner to help them design, architecture, and build a customer application and portal to help drive the adoption of the new IT governance process.
Leaders in the organisation knew that Thirdera was seasoned in ServiceNow implementation and could provide superior advisory and development services to build its custom ServiceNow solution. They engaged with Thirdera to customise its ServiceNow instance and provide the right training to end-users across the organisation to make the rollout a success.
Based on the organisation’s requirements, Thirdera Digital (3D), Thirdera's business unit focused on UX/ UI design, developed a configurable custom app with a user-friendly portal to optimise and manage the governing of new and existing technology. Thirdera delivered a portal experience that accounted for the different roles within the organisation and provided each function with a seamless, intuitive experience to guide them through the technology request process. The fully configurable and easy-to-scale solution enabled the organisation’s business operations team to support and maintain these requests directly in the production environment.
To ensure that the rollout would succeed, leadership wanted everyone to receive training tailored to their role in the organisation. In addition to providing a customised and scalable solution, Thirdera also provided Organisational Change Management (OCM) services to improve team buy-in and increase the ROI of the ServiceNow platform. Thirdera’s OCM capabilities across communications, adoption, training and sustainment workstreams increased user satisfaction and adoption to ensure a successful rollout. Thirdera provided global, customised training based on employee role by delivering training materials and video snippets in the organisation’s learning management system.

Because of Thirdera’s help, the financial services organisation now has a ServiceNow custom application with a portal that delivers a seamless user experience for both end-users placing technology requests and the fulfillers approving those requests. By partnering with Thirdera, the organisation was able to create a custom solution designed specifically for its unique needs. The product owner at the organisation added, “The Thirdera team truly embedded themselves into our team, they were flexible, and provided thought leadership throughout the entirety of the engagement.”
Each part of the workflow process was optimised for maximum efficiency. The logic-driven configuration predicts the correct workflow based on the circumstance. The dynamic intake forms streamline approvals and operations. In addition, enhanced fulfiller personas and roles provide operational efficiencies and alignment of work.
Thirdera enhanced the customised solution by increasing adoption and employee buy-in. The onboarding and internal training took place across several continents and was customised for each persona within the organisation. Thirdera’s change management and global training—complete with short videos to support employee learning—improved the implementation experience for both end-users and the enterprise architecture team.
With Thirdera’s business process and technical consulting, the enterprise now has an optimised and easy-to-use platform that meets the needs of the organisation and its employees. As the executive sponsor stated, it was “one of the greatest partnerships we have had with a vendor in my twenty-plus years in this space.”
