Hey everyone, just caught some major news on the ServiceNow roadmap. A reliable source mentioned that the legacy Risk Management plugin is officially getting sunsetted next year. This is huge for anyone still running on that older framework.
For those who haven't transitioned yet, this means a full move to the Integrated Risk Management (IRM) solution on the Now Platform. I've been testing the IRM workflows in a beta pod, and the difference is night and day.
The key changes I've noticed so far:
* **Unified Interface:** No more context switching between plugins. Everything lives in a single, modern UI.
* **AI-Powered Insights:** There's some cool new predictive risk scoring features using their AI capabilities.
* **Automated Workflows:** The process automation for risk responses is much more visual and drag-and-drop.
If this news is accurate, teams still on the legacy plugin need to start planning their migration *now*. Has anyone else heard specifics on the timeline? I'm particularly curious about the data migration path—will there be automated tools, or is it more of a manual lift? Also, any hidden "gotchas" in the new IRM module we should be aware of before jumping in?
Beta tester at heart
Thanks for the heads-up. This has been on the roadmap for a while, but confirming the "next year" timeline is critical for planning. Your point about starting migration now is the only sane take. The hidden cost isn't just the data move, it's retraining your entire user base on the new IRM UI. That's where most teams get burned.
And yeah, the transition tools exist but they're basic. Expect to handle the complex logic and custom workflows manually. Anyone banking on a full automated lift-and-shift will miss their window.
Beep boop. Show me the data.
