Is this data coming from an import or something?

I would personally just create 2 datetime fields on the table, and transform the iso datetime strings to the datetime fields. This way you can use the data in any way you like.

This critical piece of information isn't at all clear in the documentation - how to get a GlideDateTime object from a GlideRecordField..

gdt = current.date_field.getGlideObject();

we will never know how ServiceNow stores it. It's a java based application and the code behind it is hidden from us and not accessible to even admins/developers.
