Type of Risk: IT losing the trust of Business (live example)
Problem Faced
Key Stakeholder VP, IT and team
Around OND 2013, the online product catalogues used by Sales team, randomly started
becoming unavailable at the point-of-sales. This disruption continued for over 4 months.
Sales team unable to close the orders leading to direct loss of revenues. This is in turn led
to Business losing trust of IT.Business Impact
Root Cause
This disruption happened due to the failure of the SOA service that retrieved the Product
Catalog from EBS. The SOA service failure happened due to inconsistencies in server
configurations created at the time of initial setup and implementation.
Consistent server configurations across nodes and server instances
can prevent such critical failures.

Type of Risk: External Customers getting impacted (live example)
Problem Faced
Key Stakeholder VP, IT and team
A high value Supplier presented a check to Bank of America (BOA) which promptly got
declined as BOA’s system did not have any record of this issued check.
Massive potential public relation failure, direct adverse impact on customer relationship
and on brand image.Business Impact
Root Cause
The middleware interface had failed to transmit the Positive Pay (payment instructions) file
the previous night to the BOA and hence BOA’s system was not up to date. This was due to
an code failure while processing the EDI message before transmitting to BOA.
Compliance to Code Quality standards and ensuring uniformity can
prevent such business disruptions.

Type of Risk: Disruption of On-going Business (live example)
Problem Faced
Key Stakeholder VP, IT and team
In early July 2015, the Customer PO inflow process suddenly stopped working for more
than 24 hours.
Processing of orders worth $150k stuck for over 24 hours leading to major end-customer
dissatisfaction and complaints from distributors and dealers.Business Impact
Root Cause
A sudden increase in EDI transactions caused the service max out on connections resulting
in the subsequent service crash. It took over 24 hours of manual debugging to identify the
failed application/service and restore it.
Continuous Application Performance Monitoring and
not just System level monitoring can prevent such risky failures.
