Case Study: Genworth achieves faster financial close and greater IT visibility with Broadcom Automic Automation

Genworth Ensures System Visibility and Manageability with Automic® Automation

Genworth, a division of Genworth Financial and a leading insurance provider, faced significant challenges after switching its systems to a UNIX platform. The company struggled with limited visibility and control, particularly during its month-end financial close, which involved over 1,300 manual tasks consolidated into a few complex scripts. This manual intervention introduced a high risk of errors and delays. To overcome this, Genworth selected the Automic Automation Platform from Broadcom to automate and streamline its processes.

Broadcom's solution provided Genworth with centralized management, automated alerting, and intuitive design tools. This enabled them to automate workflows, embed documentation, and gain full visibility into their IT landscape. The implementation delivered substantial results, including a 74% reduction in the monthly financial close time and a projected annual savings of 100 human-days. Broadcom's technology also improved system knowledge and operational credibility across the business.
