It includes new features, changes, removals, deprecations, activation instructions, and other important upgrade considerations across the Data product family. Show full answer Show less The notes highlight that there were no updates in Zurich, and the key enhancements and changes occur primarily in the Australia release. ## New features in Australia * **Data Interfaces:** Introduces durable, schema-based contracts that create a consistent data access layer for analytics, workflows, and AI. They support multi-source data composition (UNION and JOIN operations) and maintain schema stability to protect downstream consumers from breaking changes. Access is controlled via ServiceNow role-based access control (RBAC) and ACLs. * **Data Products:** Enables creation of reusable, business-aligned data entities built on data interfaces with defined ownership, lifecycle management, and metadata. Data products can be packaged as publishable collections discoverable in the Data Catalog, with governed access requests and RBAC controls. * **Zero Copy Connectors:** Allows federated, real-time (or near real-time) queries on external data sources such as Snowflake, Databricks, and Oracle without replicating data into ServiceNow, improving efficiency and data freshness. * **Catalog-First Authoring Experience:** Facilitates discovery and onboarding of data assets directly from the Data Catalog, allowing creation of data interfaces and products from catalog assets without switching contexts, promoting reuse and reducing duplication. ## Changes in Australia * Published data interfaces can now be edited to add columns, change source tables, update join conditions, and more. Existing consumers continue using the interface but must reconnect to adopt structural changes. ## Removals and Deprecations No features or functionality were removed or deprecated from Zurich through Australia releases. ## Activation and Access * Data products are available for installation via the ServiceNow Store. Customers must request installation through the store, where all available apps and their version histories can be reviewed. * Access to data interfaces and products is managed with ServiceNow RBAC and ACLs, ensuring secure, governed data sharing. ## Additional Notes * No new additional requirements, browser requirements, accessibility information, or localization considerations were introduced between Zurich and Australia for Data products. * Data products enable customers to create governed, stable data interfaces from multiple sources, publish them in the Data Catalog, and provide consumers with a unified, secure access point for related data assets. ## What this means for ServiceNow customers Upgrading to Australia equips customers with powerful tools to build reusable and governed data interfaces and products that enhance data consistency, security, and discoverability. The zero-copy connectors enable seamless integration with popular external data platforms without replication overhead. Customers can expect improved data governance, reduced duplication, and stable interfaces that shield consumers from underlying source changes, ultimately supporting better data-driven workflows and analytics.
