ServiceNow Drivers & Connectors
for Data Integration

The ServiceNow driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and ServiceNow, allowing the application to read data as if it were a relational database. The ServiceNow driver abstracts the complexities of ServiceNow APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to ServiceNow data in real-time via standard SQL queries.

Working with a ServiceNow Driver is different than connecting with ServiceNow through other means. ServiceNow API integrations require technical experience from a software developer or IT resources. Additionally, due to the constant evolution of APIs and services, once you build your integration you have to constantly maintain ServiceNow integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our ServiceNow Drivers offer codeless access to live ServiceNow data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live ServiceNow data from any client application. Because our drivers conform to standard data interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET etc. they offer a consistent, maintenance-free interface to ServiceNow data. We manage all of the complexities of ServiceNow integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

If you need truly zero-maintenance integration, check out connectivity to ServiceNow via CData Connect Cloud. With Connect Cloud you can configure all of your data connectivity in one place and connect to ServiceNow from any of the available Cloud Drivers and Client Applications. Connectivity to ServiceNow is managed in the cloud, and you never have to worry about installing new drivers when ServiceNow is updated.

Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with ServiceNow, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.

Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData ServiceNow driver offers full-featured ServiceNow data connectivity. The CData ServiceNow drivers support extensive ServiceNow integration, providing access to all of the ServiceNow data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all ServiceNow data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations.

With our drivers and connectors, every data source is essentially SQL-based. The CData ServiceNow driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into ServiceNow API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to ServiceNow as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to ServiceNow is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that ServiceNow looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live ServiceNow connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.

Using the CData ServiceNow drivers and connectors, ServiceNow can be easily integrated with almost any application. Any software or technology that can integrate with a database or connect with standards-based drivers like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc., can use our drivers for live ServiceNow data connectivity.

Additionally, since ServiceNow supported by CData Connect Cloud, we enable all kinds of new ServiceNow cloud integrations.

ServiceNow Analytics and ServiceNow Cloud BI integration is universally supported for BI and data science. In addition, CData provides native client connectors for popular analytics applications like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel that simplify ServiceNow data integration. Additionally, native Python connectors are widely available for data science and data engineering projects that integrate seamlessly with popular tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash, and Petl.

ServiceNow data integration is typically enabled with CData Sync, a robust any-to-any data pipeline solution that is easy to set up, runs everywhere, and offers comprehensive enterprise-class features for data engineering. CData Sync makes it easy to replicate ServiceNow data any database or data warehouse, and maintain parity between systems with automated incremental ServiceNow replication. In addition, our ServiceNow drivers and connectors can be easily embedded into a wide range of data integration tools to augment existing solutions.

Absolutely. The best way to integrate ServiceNow with Excel is by using the CData Connect Cloud Excel Add-In. The ServiceNow Excel Add-In provides easy ServiceNow integration directly from Microsoft Excel Desktop, Mac, or Web (Excel 365). Simply configure your connection to ServiceNow from the easy-to-use cloud interface, and access ServiceNow just like you would another native Excel data source.
