SaaS: Software as a Service, sometimes referred to as “on-demand software”, is a
software delivery model where software and any data associated with it are hosted
off-site, typically over the internet. ServiceNow hosts all software and data centrally
at the ServiceNow server farms and are accessed via the internet on a web browser.
VPN is not needed to access Service Now.
PaaS: Platform as a Service is the delivery of a computing platform and solution
Stack as a service. This means that users need only to buy the service, but do not
have to worry about maintaining the underlying hardware and software.

3. ServiceNow & Improving IT Service Management
ServiceNow is dedicated to improving the industry’s opinion of the value software
delivers. ServiceNow develops, implements and supports a suite of on-demand IT
service management applications offered via the Internet as software as a service
(SaaS). These applications are licensed on a simple and economical subscription
basis.
ServiceNow is redefining the IT management market, providing a new opportunity
for organisations to fix their age-old problems, but also providing the platform to
tackle service management challenges that have been perceived until recently as too
complex to realistically address with software.
ServiceNow believe that an organisation regardless of size or complexity requires a
“single system of record” for all processes being used to acquire, deploy, manage,
assess and retire business services and the underlying infrastructure upon which an
organisation depends. Effective IT service management is all about implementing
process with as much automation as possible, remaining flexible to your business
requirements and responding to reporting and workflow needs.

5. Developing with Servicenow
This bridge uses the SOAP API to make calls to Service Now so that the desired
information can be retrieved. Here is a quick primer on how to retreive your data
from Servicenow.
A list of standard tables can be found on the Servicenow wiki (here).
-The table name is what needs to be inputted as the structure to get data from that
particular class
-Another place to find table names is under the System Definition header there is a
Tables table that lists all of the tables, including both the names and labels
-Keep in mind that all custom tables will have ‘u_’ appended onto the beginning of
the name
A list of fields can be found a couple of different ways
-Go to the Tables table located under System Definition and click on the name of the
table you want to find the fields for. This will pull up a list of field labels. To find the
name just click on a field and look in the Column Name input box.
-The other way to find out the field names for a table is to look at the WSDL. This will
give you a list of all the names in XML format. To find that just go to the url with the
form <instance>.service-now.com/<table_name>.do?WSDL. A list of fields can be
found under many of the elements (getResults, getResponse, getRecords, etc).
Make sure that you are using the field name and not the field label when building
qualifications. (Hint: If there is a space in the field you are trying to use, you are
likely using the field label.
Qualifications for the Service Now follow the form of “Field”=”parameter_value”, so
if the field or parameter value have double quotes they will need to be escaped.
-The query string in the qualification mapping will be
“Attribute”=”<%=parameter[“Attribute”]%>”
