Migrating Archer to ServiceNow GRC: A REDE Consulting Success Story

Enterprises worldwide are reimagining their Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) strategies to align with today’s fast-changing regulatory landscape. Many organizations are finding that legacy systems, while once effective, no longer provide the agility and scalability needed to meet modern compliance and risk management requirements.

This was exactly the challenge faced by one of REDE Consulting’s global clients, who had been managing their risk and compliance program on RSA Archer. While Archer served them well for many years, it became increasingly rigid, difficult to integrate with enterprise systems, and costly to maintain. The client turned to REDE Consulting to migrate their program to ServiceNow GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance)—a platform designed for scalability, automation, and future-ready innovation.

The Migration Journey

At REDE Consulting, we designed a structured migration roadmap that minimized disruption, ensured data integrity, and maximized adoption:

• Comprehensive Assessment  – We mapped Archer processes, data models, and user workflows against ServiceNow GRC capabilities.
  

• Seamless Data Migration  – Legacy risk registers, control libraries, policies, and historical audit data were securely migrated to ServiceNow.
  

• Process Optimization  – Instead of a “lift and shift,” REDE modernized workflows to leverage ServiceNow automation, reporting, and AI-powered insights.
  

• Integration Enablement  – ServiceNow GRC was integrated with existing ITSM, CMDB, and security tools to create a connected enterprise risk ecosystem.
  

• Change Management & Training  – End users received training and adoption workshops, ensuring smooth transition and faster time-to-value.

Benefits the Client Gained

By migrating from Archer to ServiceNow GRC with REDE’s expertise, the client achieved significant improvements across their risk and compliance function:

• Unified Risk Visibility  – All risks, controls, policies, and audits are now centrally managed within ServiceNow, giving real-time visibility to leadership.
  

• Improved Efficiency  – Automated workflows replaced manual processes, reducing compliance task efforts by over 40%.
  

• Enhanced Integration  – With CMDB and ITSM integration, business risks are now directly linked to IT assets and incidents.
  

• Better Decision-Making  – Powerful dashboards and reporting in ServiceNow provide actionable insights for faster, data-driven decisions.
  

• Reduced Costs  – Moving away from a legacy system cut licensing and maintenance overheads while improving scalability.
  

• Future-Ready Platform  – The client is now leveraging ServiceNow’s AI and automation capabilities to continuously improve their GRC posture.

REDE’s Role

This migration was not just a technology shift—it was a business transformation journey. REDE Consulting’s deep domain expertise in ServiceNow IRM/GRC and proven migration methodologies ensured that the client not only moved off Archer seamlessly but also unlocked the true potential of modern GRC on the Now Platform.
