This integration avoids data replication by mirroring data in the ERP system, keeping it secure while making it accessible for use in ServiceNow applications and workflows. Show full answer Show less This connector is particularly valuable for modernizing legacy ERP environments by identifying and replacing complex custom ERP code with digitized workflows, resulting in a clean ERP core and facilitating innovation without deep legacy system knowledge. It supports building ERP data models that represent ERP system data in remote and extraction tables, enabling efficient CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations and data transformation. ## Key Features * **ERP System Support:** Connects with major ERP platforms such as SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, Workday, and Oracle EBS. * **Data Access Without Replication:** Mirrors ERP data in remote tables accessible on the ServiceNow AI Platform without duplicating it. * **Model-Based Integration:** Allows creation of models that organize mirrored ERP data and enable read, update, and create operations. * **Extraction Tables:** Configure extraction tables to regularly pull custom or delta data, supporting ongoing data synchronization. * **Content Packs:** Provides predefined models and process extensions that accelerate development, especially for users with limited SAP domain knowledge. * **ServiceNow Platform Integration:** Enables use of ERP data in ServiceNow Studio apps, Workflow Studio flows, playbooks, Table Builder, UI Builder, and Workspace Builder. ## Key Outcomes * Streamlined ERP data management and integration within ServiceNow instances, making ERP data actionable for automation and innovation. * Reduced time and effort for administrators and developers by eliminating the need to create database views or endpoints in legacy ERP systems. * Facilitated ERP modernization by replacing legacy custom code with digitized workflows, supporting a cleaner and more maintainable ERP core. * Accelerated development of ERP use cases via content packs, enabling more developers to work with ERP data effectively. Zero Copy Connector for ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) enables you to connect to an ERP system to read, update, create, and extract data for use on the ServiceNow AI Platform. ## Zero Copy Connector for ERP overview {#exploring-erp-integration__section_umy_5xx_mwb} Zero Copy Connector for ERP helps you identify custom Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) apps and fields in an ERP system to access their data on the ServiceNow AI Platform. Legacy ERP systems can have old, complex custom code and data. The old information requires more time and effort to move to newer versions of the ERP system. Use Zero Copy Connector for ERP to find and replace custom code with digitized workflows, resulting in a clean ERP core. This is the process of ERP modernization. Zero Copy Connector for ERP supports the following ERP systems: * SAP ECC * SAP S/4HANA * SAP S/4HANA Cloud * SuccessFactors * Workday * Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) {#exploring-erp-integration__ul_g5d_j3d_ckc} The replatforming of legacy code enables innovation on top of the ERP system without knowledge of the legacy system. Administrators and developers are then relieved of time-consuming efforts to create database views or endpoints in the ERP system and can work on other projects, such as migration. Use models as the foundation for ERP apps. These models include ERP system data in remote tables and extraction tables. The models enable you to perform read, update, and create operations on the ERP system. After you create models, you can use the extracted and transformed data to build apps that access the models. For example, use ServiceNow Studio to build apps or use the ERP data in flows within Workflow Studio. Zero Copy Connector for ERP content packs are sets of predefined models and process extensions that are useful examples for developers with little or no SAP domain knowledge. Content packs accelerate the work so that building use cases involving SAP data becomes a faster process that more developers can accomplish. For more information, see [Accelerating SAP integrations with Zero Copy Connector for ERP content packs](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/uw3Eyg0x3xSU20zi5k491Q "Zero Copy Connector for ERP content packs provide predefined SAP models and process extensions that you can copy and customize, so that you can build SAP integrations without deep SAP expertise."). Note: Zero Copy Connector for ERP doesn't replicate data into the ServiceNow AI Platform. It mirrors data that lives in the ERP system, and remains protected there. ## Benefits of Zero Copy Connector for ERP {#exploring-erp-integration__section_qqm_yzx_mwb} The unified data model of the ServiceNow AI Platform helps integrate ERP data into the ServiceNow AI Platform. Zero Copy Connector for ERP streamlines ERP data management, making it accessible and actionable within the ServiceNow AI Platform and ServiceNow instances.
