ServiceNow Integrations: Build or Buy Guide
It depends on your organization's requirements.
Building an integration in-house can take considerable time and resources for the implementation alone. Add to that the cost of maintenance, and the costs incurred due to any errors or downtime, and the total cost of ownership can rapidly swell.
Buying a packaged integration solution or investing in an integration platform-as-a-service can save time during the early stages of the project. But if you're still responsible for maintenance, you need to ensure you have adequate resources to do so.
Integrations-as-a-service are implemented and maintained by integration experts. So if you're integrating business-critical systems with large data volumes, this is by far your safest option.

Key factors to consider when choosing an integration approach:
- The total cost of ownership for the integration project
- The volume of data the integration will process
- The security requirements of your organization
- The amount of downtime your organization can afford to incur
- The resources you have available to maintain the integration in-house
The importance of getting it right the first time
Integrations are implemented to connect two or more systems, where manual data transfer would not suffice. This is likely because the systems support critical business functions moving a lot of data.
So it's crucial that organizations get the implementation right, or the integration can quickly become a costly technical debt.
