Custom work is required to classify and split every Service Record, map SysAid's flat CI relationships to ServiceNow's hierarchical CMDB class inheritance model, rebuild reference field crosswalks (SysAid IDs to ServiceNow sys_ids), and manually recreate workflow automations, templates, and custom field schemas that have no automated conversion path. These are the architectural mismatches and technical hurdles specific to a SysAid ITSM to ServiceNow migration.
Every SysAid Service Record must be classified by type and routed to the correct ServiceNow table, with Requests requiring an up-front design decision on whether they become sc_request/sc_req_item pairs or incident records.
SysAid's flat CI types and relation types must be mapped to ServiceNow's class-inherited CMDB structure and imported through the Identification and Reconciliation Engine to avoid creating duplicate CIs.
Every reference field such as caller_id, assigned_to, cmdb_ci, and assignment_group requires a maintained translation database mapping SysAid IDs to ServiceNow sys_ids for accurate record linking.
SysAid custom fields (cust_ prefix) and numeric picklist values for status, priority, urgency, and impact require explicit metadata extraction and enum crosswalk mapping to ServiceNow's u_ fields and choice values.
SysAid one-step automations, workflow rules, and templates cannot be exported via API and must be manually audited and recreated as ServiceNow Business Rules, Flow Designer flows, and catalog items.
SysAid activities and Journey tab entries must be converted to ServiceNow journal entries with accurate UTC timestamps and author attribution, accounting for mixed date formats (ISO 8601 and epoch milliseconds) in the source API.
