Case Study: Danske Bank boosts resilience efficiency by 300% with Cutover

Danske Bank triples resilience efficiency by 300% with Cutover

Danske Bank, a major Danish multinational bank, faced a challenge in managing its IT resilience activities. Their existing processes for data center recovery testing were manually intensive and inefficient, relying on spreadsheets and Confluence. This limited their ability to perform large-scale tests efficiently and created risks from increasing regulatory scrutiny. They sought a better way to orchestrate these resilience activities and turned to the vendor Cutover for its solution.

By implementing Cutover's runbook automation platform, Danske Bank transformed its resilience testing. The solution provided workflow orchestration, real-time dashboards, and a clear view of dependencies, allowing the bank to manage failover tests containing thousands of tasks. The results were a 300% efficiency improvement, enabling them to fail over 400+ services in just 14 hours, a significant increase from their previous capacity of 130 services in 10 hours. Cutover gave the bank greater confidence in its resilience capabilities and made it easier to provide evidence of this to regulators.
