FNBO Impresses Stakeholders with Flawless Resiliency Test

In today’s unpredictable world, business resilience is no longer optional—it’s essential. That’s why FNBO (First National Bank of Omaha) partnered with Agility to ensure their teams could operate without disruption, no matter the crisis.

During our recent interview, FNBO leaders shared their journey, the challenges they faced, and the measurable impact of building a strong business continuity plan.

FNBO operates across multiple regions, supporting thousands of customers who expect uninterrupted access to financial services. That responsibility brought a pressing need: keep operations running no matter what. Meeting strict regulatory standards, maintaining communication during crises, and giving leadership confidence in recovery were all critical priorities. Simply put, “good enough” wasn’t good enough—continuity had to be proven, tested, and guaranteed.

That’s where Agility came in. By partnering with Agility, FNBO gained more than a plan—they gained a partner prepared to deliver resilience on demand. Agility provided guaranteed access to backup power and fuel supply, ensuring systems could stay online during outages. Flexible workspace recovery meant employees could continue working, whether through mobile units or one of more than 3,200 global office locations. Crisis communication tools gave FNBO the ability to deliver messages quickly, track accountability, and connect with staff when it mattered most. At the same time, IT resilience, cybersecurity protections, and validated recovery plans meant regulatory audits were no longer a source of worry but of confidence.

The impact was undeniable. FNBO achieved operational recovery in hours instead of days, expanded preparedness coverage by 177%, and improved response efficiency by nearly 50% during real-world incidents. Every one of these gains translated into tangible business value: uninterrupted service for customers, renewed trust from regulators, and a stronger sense of confidence across the organization.

FNBO’s story underscores a powerful truth: continuity is not just a safeguard—it’s a strategy for growth, trust, and resilience. By turning risk into readiness, they’ve proven that disruptions don’t have to mean downtime. With Agility by their side, FNBO has transformed uncertainty into a source of strength, ensuring that no matter what the future brings, they are ready to face it.
