Show full answer Show less ## Key Features Introduced in Australia * **Data Interfaces:** Enable durable, schema-based contracts that offer consistent, stable access to data for analytics, workflows, and AI applications. Support multi-source composition using UNION and JOIN operations while maintaining schema stability to protect downstream consumers from breaking changes. Access control is managed through ServiceNow role-based access control (RBAC) and ACLs. * **Data Products:** Allow creation of reusable, business-aligned data entities built on data interfaces with defined ownership, lifecycle management, and metadata. Data products can be packaged and governed as publishable collections discoverable in the Data Catalog, with access requests managed via governed workflows and RBAC. * **Zero Copy Connectors:** Facilitate real-time or near-real-time federated queries to access external data sources such as Snowflake, Databricks, and native ServiceNow data without replicating data into the ServiceNow instance, improving efficiency and data freshness. * **Catalog-First Authoring Experience:** Simplifies discovery and onboarding of data assets directly from the Data Catalog, enabling creation of data interfaces and products from catalog assets without switching contexts. This reduces duplication and enhances data reuse across the organization. ## Changes to Existing Features * **Editing Published Data Interfaces:** Australia release introduces the ability to modify published data interfaces by adding columns, swapping source tables, changing combination methods, updating column mappings, or adjusting join conditions. Existing consumers continue using the interface and must reconnect to adopt the structural changes. ## Activation and Installation Data products are available through the ServiceNow Store. Customers need to request installation from the Store to activate the product. The Store also provides cumulative release notes and version history for all released apps. ## Other Notes * No features or functionalities were removed or deprecated in the Australia release. * No additional requirements, browser requirements, accessibility, or localization changes were introduced. ## Practical Impact for ServiceNow Customers Upgrading to Australia enables customers to leverage governed, stable, and reusable data interfaces and products that enhance data management, governance, and consumption across analytics and AI workflows. The zero-copy connectors facilitate seamless access to external data sources without data duplication. The enhanced authoring experience and ability to edit published interfaces improve agility and reduce operational friction. Activation requires installation from the ServiceNow Store, ensuring customers can easily obtain and manage the Data products application.
