For a leading BFSI organization in India, managing more than 1,200 internal financial operations requests each month had become overwhelming. Using a patchwork of spreadsheets and email chains, teams often missed critical deadlines, lacked visibility into ownership, and faced unnecessary regulatory pressure.
With LMTEQ’s strategic ServiceNow implementation for BFSI, the firm transformed its core financial workflows using CSM Pro and App Engine. AI-driven request management, role-based dashboards, and inbound email routing streamlined every interaction, resulting in faster resolution, better compliance, and more empowered teams.
“We didn’t want just another ticketing tool. We needed a real ServiceNow for BFSI solution that adapts to our financial ecosystem,” said the VP – Financial Strategy.
The client is a well-established Indian player in the banking and financial services (BFSI) sector, supporting a broad mix of retail banking, corporate lending, and investment services.
Their Financial Operations (FinOps) team plays a central role in :-
Group-level financial planning (annually and long-term)
Stress testing and capital adequacy analysis
Liquidity and risk management
Regulatory reporting and data governance
Vendor and stakeholder interaction across compliance cycles
Despite the organization’s size and maturity, its internal workflows remained largely manual. Every month, over 1,200 requests ranging from report generation and budgeting clarifications to financial model changes and compliance queries were handled via spreadsheets, informal trackers, and lengthy email threads.
“We were spending more time tracking tasks than actually performing them,” noted the Head of Planning.
The annual Group Planning Exercise, which involved 15+ teams, was run for nearly 25 days. With version mismatches, missed handoffs, and a lack of unified approval structure, financial data integrity became a significant risk, especially during audits.
Our team stepped in with a tailored strategy focused on delivering ServiceNow for BFSI, a specific banking solution rooted in process standardization, automation, and control.
Employees across functions could now raise and monitor requests through a structured portal with dynamic forms and category mapping.
Requests via email were parsed, categorized using AI, and routed to the right teams automatically. This significantly cut the manual triaging effort.
Live dashboards offered real-time visibility into request queues, bottlenecks, overdue items, and resolution KPIs, a major shift from retrospective reporting.
Every request and interaction was logged with complete visibility and time stamps, offering full traceability for audits and regulatory reviews.
Common queries around workflows and document submissions were answered in real-time via embedded knowledge base recommendations.
“This ServiceNow implementation for banking helped us streamline decision-making during regulatory cycles. We can now confidently face auditors with a single source of truth,” shared the firm’s Risk & Compliance Head.
