Integration Objective

To migrate the organization’s ServiceNow environment to Jira Cloud—preserving data integrity, operational continuity, and complex field structures while ensuring a secure, controlled transition at enterprise scale.

Data Integration Specifics

Issue Types:

Migrated issue types:

  • ServiceNow Incident → Jira Incident
  • ServiceNow Service Request → Jira Service Request
  • ServiceNow Change Request → Jira Change
  • ServiceNow Problem Record → Jira Problem

Field Mapping:

Fields mapped and transformed:

  • Short Description → Summary
  • Description → Description (with fallback logic when missing)
  • Status → Status
  • Priority → Priority
  • Assignment Group → Assignee / Structured Field
  • Impact & Urgency → Jira-compatible fields
  • Custom Fields → Consolidated into structured text where required
  • Created / Updated Dates → Preserved timestamps

Scripting and Custom Development Support

Migration logic executed via Getint’s on-prem deployment, including custom field transformation, fallback handling for missing values, structured text consolidation, asset mapping, and iterative scripting adjustments across 20+ migration cycles to support evolving scope and secure cutover.

Success Metrics

The integration’s success was defined by
  • 300,000+ Records Successfully Migrated

    Incidents, service requests, change requests, problem records, assets, attachments, and custom forms migrated and validated across multiple business units.

  • Operational Continuity Preserved

    ServiceNow remained active during most of the project, with iterative migration cycles ensuring a controlled and disruption-free cutover to Jira Cloud.

  • Secure On-Prem Execution

    Getint deployed fully behind the corporate firewall with VPN-secured access, meeting strict enterprise security and compliance requirements.

  • Validated Data Accuracy

    Over 20 migration cycles ensured consistent field mapping, correct attachment transfer, asset preservation, and structured transformation of legacy custom fields.

Vendor Selection Process

catworkx selected Getint as a specialized migration partner due to the project’s scale, strict security requirements, and tight timeline. The migration demanded deep expertise in extracting complex ServiceNow data structures and reliably importing them into Jira Cloud within an on-prem, firewall-restricted environment—capabilities beyond generic migration tools.
