ServiceNow Workflow Data Fabric vs. Promethium

Workflow Data Fabric is the AI‑ready data foundation of the ServiceNow AI Platform. It connects to any data—structured, unstructured, and streaming—contextualizes it with business meaning and governance, and controls it with lineage and policies so employees and AI agents can confidently act on real‑time information to prevent disruptions, resolve requests faster, and optimize operations—all on one platform.
