| Common Service Data Model (CSDM) All ServiceNow products were sharing common data platform and were covered by CMDB capabilities, but there was no common data model offered to customers (they positioned it as “you can do whatever you want”). In 2017 ServiceNow made an attempt to develop a data model for themselves internally as they could not go on with product development without having such model. Upon a few iterations, CSDM was born. Now it is the default model which customers get when purchasing any of the related products.
