Driving Operational Resilience Through Intelligent Orchestration
Legal & General Asset Management (L&G AM) has partnered with Cutover to modernize and orchestrate its IT Disaster Recovery (ITDR) and Cyber Recovery operations, providing a single platform to coordinate recovery activities across internal technology teams and strategic third-party partners.
By standardizing recovery processes through automated runbooks and intelligent orchestration, L&G AM has created a highly repeatable operating model that enables faster recovery testing, greater operational consistency, and enhanced executive oversight across complex resilience exercises.
Delivering Greater Visibility, Automation and Control
Cutover provides L&G AM with a central orchestration platform that brings together every team involved in a recovery event into a single coordinated execution plan. Automated workflows, real-time notifications and dependency-driven task sequencing enable technical teams to focus on recovery activities while the platform manages coordination.
As L&G AM continues its cloud transformation, Cutover supports the automation of recovery processes for AWS-hosted applications, helping standardise execution while reducing manual effort across increasingly complex environments.
Key capabilities delivering value include:
- Live Executive Dashboards – Real-time visibility into Recovery Time Actuals (RTAs) against Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs), enabling leadership to monitor progress and make informed decisions throughout testing and recovery events.
- Parent/Child Runbook Architecture – Individual application recovery plans are seamlessly combined into a single master runbook, ensuring coordinated execution across internal teams and third-party providers.
- Automated Audit Trails – Every action, approval and timestamp is captured automatically, providing comprehensive audit evidence and simplifying regulatory reporting.
Business Outcomes
Through Cutover, L&G AM has established a scalable and repeatable resilience capability that delivers measurable operational benefits:
- Standardized runbooks have significantly reduced the time required to plan, prepare and execute ITDR and Cyber Recovery exercises, enabling more applications to be tested within each recovery program.
- Automated orchestration has improved collaboration across internal teams and external partners, ensuring consistent execution and complete visibility throughout every recovery event.
- Executive stakeholders benefit from live operational dashboards that provide immediate insight into recovery progress, critical-path activities and overall program status.
- Automated reporting and immutable audit trails have dramatically reduced the effort required for post-event analysis and regulatory audit preparation.
- L&G AM has strengthened its operational resilience with a modern, cloud-aligned recovery capability that supports regulatory requirements while providing greater confidence in its ability to recover critical services.
