ServiceNow is the central platform for IT service management, governance, risk and compliance processes and – for many of our clients – the key data source for IAM and entitlement processes. Vetrexa brings experience from regulated environments, from ITSM and ITAM roll-outs through CMDB build-up to integration with SailPoint IIQ and the NEXIS Platform. We work as an independent advisory partner without tool lock-in and with a focus on audit-ready, sustainable processes.
Overview
Why ServiceNow?
ServiceNow has established itself as the leading platform for ITSM, ITAM and GRC in banking, insurance and industry. The combination of a central service backbone, a consistent CMDB and a flexible workflow engine makes ServiceNow the ideal link between IT operations, governance and business functions. For IAM and entitlement processes it delivers reliable ownership, asset and process data and orchestrates access requests, certifications and provisioning.
At the same time, many organisations run ServiceNow instances that have grown organically – with heterogeneous processes, unclear CMDB quality and loosely coupled integrations. Vetrexa helps to position the platform strategically, harmonise processes and consistently interlock ServiceNow with IAM/IGA suites such as SailPoint IIQ and the NEXIS Platform – with a clear focus on MaRisk, DORA and ISO 27001.

FAQ
FAQ
What do clients typically use ServiceNow for?
Our clients primarily use ServiceNow as a central platform for IT service management (incident, change, request), IT asset management including CMDB, and as the foundation for governance, risk and compliance processes. In regulated industries such as banking, insurance and industry, ServiceNow also serves as a key data source for IAM and entitlement processes.
How do you integrate ServiceNow with SailPoint and NEXIS?
We connect ServiceNow to SailPoint IIQ and the NEXIS Platform through IntegrationHub, REST/SOAP APIs and dedicated connectors. Typical scenarios include access request workflows, automated provisioning, certification campaigns and providing CMDB data as ownership and contextual information for IGA processes.
Can you migrate legacy ticketing systems?
Yes. We migrate grown ticketing and service management landscapes onto ServiceNow in a structured way – from analysing existing processes and target design through data migration and module build to a staged decommissioning of legacy systems with cutover planning and hypercare.
Do you support GRC processes in ServiceNow?
Yes. We design governance, risk and compliance processes on ServiceNow – including risk and control catalogues, audit management, policy lifecycle and regulatory reporting. Delivery is aligned with MaRisk, DORA and ISO 27001 and integrated with existing IAM and entitlement processes.
