Using Business Unit table or not vs Department parent-child

Hi all,

About to import departments. We do not have defined business units. My doubt is whether we should stay with the defined data source structure or conforming to ServiceNow data model (OOTB). It seems all the tables that have business unit also have a department field in ServiceNow.

 

So e.g. could be two ways. First:
Department (parent): Marketing

Department (child): Communications
Department (child): SEO

 

Department (parent): Manufacturing 

Department (child): Production

Department (child): Quality Assurance

 

Or

 

Business Unit: Marketing

Department (parent): Communications
Department (parent): SEO

 

Business Unit: Manufacturing 

Department (parent): Production

Department (parent): Quality Assurance

 

Regards,

Jaap
