IdentityNow’s Service Integration Module, or SIM integration with ServiceNow, which converts IdentityNow provisioning actions into tickets in ServiceNow.

The following presentation will give the overall idea of ServiceNow service catalog integration with SailPoint IdentityNow and explanation of the use case,
