In the final planning stage of a ServiceNow integration, the CTA should prioritize assessing network

and system communication needs. This involves:

Connectivity: Verifying network connectivity between ServiceNow and the external system. This

includes checking firewalls, ports, and any required network configurations.

Protocols: Determining the communication protocols to be used (e.g., REST, SOAP, JDBC).

Security: Ensuring secure communication channels, including authentication and encryption

requirements.

Performance: Considering bandwidth requirements and potential performance impacts on both

systems.

Why not the other options?

B . Determining the color scheme for integration UI: While UI considerations are important, they are

not the primary focus during the technical details gathering stage.

C . Planning the communication for the integration go-live: Communication planning is important but

separate from the technical details of the integration itself.

D . Estimating the projected integration data metrics: Data volume estimates are useful, but the

primary focus is on ensuring successful communication between the systems.
