    You can use web services.

    For simple integration (opening of tickets), you would most likely just use a query based policy to send an email to Service Now. This is the method we have historically used to ‘integrate’ with other non-CA help desk solutions. Service Now should have the ability to accept emails to generate tickets.

    There is no OOB integration module for Service Now, and I don’t know of any field developed module. You have two options basically:

     

     

       

    •   Use Web Services to develop your own integration module.

       

    •   Use a scheduled report with a CSV, XML or ODBC export to create the data you need in a format which can be imported into Service Now. This is probably the easiest option but it is dependent on Service Now having a data import option.
