Replicate ServiceNow data in SQL Server
in 3 simple steps
DataSync is an integration-as-a-service solution, where Perspectium manages both the initial setup and ongoing maintenance.
With our deep knowledge of the ServiceNow platform, we can implement the solution quickly and efficiently, ensuring a fast time-to-value for your organization.
After installation, users can define rules to automatically replicate data that meets specific, user-defined criteria in real-time.
Additionally, users have the option to configure bulk data transfers, either by applying condition-based filters or by manually selecting the data they wish to replicate.
Once set up, Perspectium DataSync replicates data dynamically, according to the user’s schedule and when required, on-demand.
Users can track the status of data transfers through receipt notifications. If any transfers fail, they can be quickly re-shared, and a comprehensive activity log is available directly within the ServiceNow platform for easy monitoring.
How DataSync Connects ServiceNow to SQL Server
Our innovative data replication approach provides outstanding throughput.
With DataSync, users can efficiently replicate over 20 million records each day, ensuring ServiceNow’s performance remains unaffected.
DataSync provides a seamless solution for integrating ServiceNow with SQL Server, enabling users to replicate data from ServiceNow to SQL Server environments, either in bulk or in real-time.
Unlike other data replication tools, DataSync is specifically designed to handle vast amounts of data without impacting ServiceNow’s performance.
This is accomplished through a push-based mechanism that sends data to a message broker system (MBS), allowing target systems to retrieve the data as needed.
By eliminating the reliance on traditional ETL/ELT processes and the ServiceNow REST API—both of which can struggle with large data volumes and frequent requests—DataSync ensures reliable, high-throughput data replication.
This enables the replication of over 20 million records per day efficiently and without performance degradation.
Why Connect ServiceNow and SQL Server?
The Challenge
Extracting large volumes of data from ServiceNow can be a complex and cumbersome process, as the platform does not provide easy access or export mechanisms for such data.
While ServiceNow offers various built-in features like reporting, analytics, and even AI/ML capabilities, these tools often fall short when compared to more specialized, purpose-built solutions.
Moreover, many solutions use the REST API to initiate data transfers. This consumes ServiceNow's operational bandwidth, degrades performance and limits throughput.
The Solution
DataSync streamlines the process of integrating ServiceNow with SQL Server, making it easier for users to replicate various types of data, such as records, comments, attachments, and more, from ServiceNow into SQL Server environments.
Supporting both bulk and dynamic data replication, DataSync enables the efficient transfer of large datasets either in batches or automatically, based on user-defined conditions. This flexibility helps organizations optimize data transfer based on their specific needs.
By replicating ServiceNow data to SQL Server, organizations gain greater control and accessibility over their data.
With ServiceNow data available in SQL Server, organizations can feed the data into a wide array of third-party applications without introducing several performance crippling point-to-point integrations to ServiceNow.
Connecting ServiceNow and SQL Server provides organizations with greater control of, and access to their ServiceNow data.
