The challenge
A Fortune 500 bank operated 11 legacy ITSM tools across regional and functional silos. Tickets routinely sat unassigned. Mean-time-to-resolution had drifted up 35% year-over-year. The platform team wanted a single source of truth — without a 24-month forklift program.
The Mergen approach
We ran a 4-week discovery, ending with a signed scope for a fixed-12-week ITSM go-live (Incident, Problem, Change, Service Catalog) for 40,000 users. The foundation: a clean CMDB, harmonized assignment groups, and a phased decommissioning plan for the 11 legacy tools.
What we built
ITSM module configured with bank-specific approval matrices and SLA targets
14 integrations to upstream and downstream systems (HR, identity, asset management)
Service Catalog with 87 request types, replacing the legacy email-based intake
Performance Analytics dashboard for the bank’s CIO and CTO
The outcomes
60% faster resolution times across digital channels
78% first-contact resolution rate
$2.5M annual savings on legacy tooling licenses + maintenance
