Standalone Application
Service Exchange for Providers simplifies the interaction between consumers and providers by offering features like Remote Catalog for seamless service requests and Remote Choice for real-time option selection. It ensures secure and authorized access through Personas and Authorized Users, while Provider Task and Remote Task facilitate transparent and collaborative multi-instance workflows. Additionally, Transforms enables both parties to manipulate inbound and outbound data, making the whole process flexible and efficient.
Key Features Include:
- Mismatched Versions and Configuration Revisions: Ensure that providers and consumers using Service Exchange (SE) can operate on different platform releases and application versions without disruption to active entitlements and processes
- Remote Catalog: Keep the development of shared catalogs and the workflows/integrations in the provider's instance while sharing them with consumers as simple record producers that generate integrated requests in the provider’s instance.
- Remote Choice: Enables real-time selection of provider choice data in Remote Catalog item variables.
- Personas: Restrict user access to remote catalog items with personas attached to authorized users in the consumer instance.
- Authorized Users: Manages user recognition between instances, and ensures secure access to remote catalog items with personas.
- Consumer Pre-Flows: Run consumer-defined processes before a task is synced to a provider. Consumer-specific variables can be added to support the process.
- Proactive cases: Enables providers to collaborate and be transparent with customers by sending Provider Tasks to the consumer instance.
- Provider Task: Enables providers to send Case alerts proactively to their connected consumers via the Provider task table without setup or configuration for the purpose of being transparent and collaborative.
- Remote Task: Provides a sustainable replacement for custom eBonding. Remote Task creates linked tasks across multiple instances without the need to build an integration, enabling business workflows between them. Remote Task transmits comments, attachments, and mapped fields between instances.
- Transforms: Enables a provider or consumer to transform inbound and outbound data for Remote Tasks.
- Virtual Fields & Transforms: Enables mapping and transformation of fields not present in both instances.
- Foundation Data Sync: enables the structured sharing of data from provider to consumer instances. FDS supports all CMDB tables, as well as the following non-CMDB tables: Asset, User, Group, Location, Company, and Department.
- Service Exchange Health Dashboard: Consolidates errors and scan checks (Findings) that identify inconsistencies early. Enhances integration stability, reduces troubleshooting, and offers error solutions to boost productivity. Provides on-demand and scheduled scans via builtin suites.
- Magic Links: SSO login for consumers allowing direct access to resources in the provider instance.
- ScratchPad: Share name/value pairs between instances as JSON data on Provider Tasks and Remote Tasks.
- Order Management for Service Exchange: Streamlines integration between providers and customers' ServiceNow instances, automating orders and tracking to reduce delays and enhance service delivery.
