Upcoming Freshservice Integration and more in v16.12.00

Upcoming Freshservice Integration

Our Freshservice integration is currently working its way through approval on the Freshservice app store, but will allow users to directly integrate their Device42 and Freshservice applications to synchronize Device42 assets and impact topologies directly with Freshservice.

Users will now be able to see imported Device42 records in Freshservice.

In addition to any fields automatically synced, a Device42 panel allows you to see any extended CI attributes that are available on the record in Device42.

System dependencies and relationships will also be imported from Device42’s Affinity Groups and Business Applications.

If you’re using Software Discovery in Device42, you’ll also be able to track software versions and installation locations from Freshservice.

Support for On-Prem ServiceNow Instances

Device42 now offers more flexibility for ServiceNow users. With release 16.12.00, Device42 can now integrate with both on-premise and cloud service ServiceNow deployments. Device42 has been updated to support this on-premise method of integration, and our ServiceNow application is currently going through the approval process in the store.
