ServiceNow Dev Program · Oct 09, 2026 · video

Traditional integration pulls data from your source systems, stores copies in ServiceNow, and then works with data that's aging the moment it lands. Resulting in: Security risks, Maintenance overhead and Stale data. Zero Copy Connectors solves this exact problem. When a workflow or AI agent queries data, Zero Copy translates that query into native SQL for your source system. The query executes at the source and results come straight back in ServiceNow.
