Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 (M365) is a comprehensive platform providing a wide range of services used by enterprises across the globe.  Microsoft Entra ID underpins M365 with authentication and authorization information which can be leveraged to enhance your ITSM platform and associated business processes.

The CI Sync Microsoft 365 connector reads multiple object types to create a combination of records and relationships in your CMDB and other related tables in within ServiceNow.  This enables novel use cases to be leveraged by your organization to improve visibility and management of MS Team (SharePoint) sites as an example.

The CI Sync M365 connector can take advantage of any data available through the Microsoft 365 and Entra ID APIs.  Syncfish are keen for more customer use cases to expand the connector and the benefits it can provide to your ServiceNow platform.

Take control of SharePoint Site proliferation
The CI Sync M365 connector synchronizes SharePoint sites to your CMDB as Website CIs. CI Sync goes a step further by synchronizing the SharePoint Owner Group records into ServiceNow and automatically correlates the Owner Group members between the M365 user records and your ServiceNow user table. The combination of these features means you can drive automated workflows to perform SharePoint lifecycle management and drive decommissioning of unnecessary/unused SharePoint sites, particularly the SharePoint sites created by Microsoft Teams.
Out of Office records so tickets aren’t routed to staff on leave
You can use the M365 connector to sync Out of Office records from Outlook as Schedule Records in ServiceNow. Having this Schedule Records automatically generated means ServiceNow can be configured so it’s sensitive to the availability of ticket resolvers (i.e. to avoid tickets being routed to resolvers who are on leave). This functionality can be made sensitive to only target certain groups of M365 users (i.e. known groups of resolvers).

It can be hosted in most/all Azure Regions globally (it is still hosted/managed/maintained by Syncfish, but the customer decides which geography it is physically located in).

No. The source asset data (read from the relevant source system by one of the CI Synchronizer connectors) is transited through your dedicated CI Synchronizer instance then deleted after it’s been processed into ServiceNow.
