Migrate your Serviceaide ChangeGear data
ITSM platform originally from SunView Software, now under Serviceaide, with change management, incident management, and asset discovery. Mid-market to enterprise organizations with ITIL-aligned workflows are its core users.
In its favor
Why people choose Serviceaide ChangeGear
The signal that keeps Serviceaide ChangeGear on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
ITIL-aligned workflow design out of the box, requiring minimal configuration for organizations already following ITIL processes—change advisory board workflows, incident categorization, and problem management are pre-built.
Customizable dashboards and automated report delivery let IT managers monitor priorities and team performance without manually aggregating data from multiple sources.
Change management automation reduces risk during technology changes by centralizing change records and providing audit trails for compliance reviews.
Strong asset discovery capabilities enable organizations to maintain accurate Configuration Item records and track software licenses across the environment.
Integration capabilities allow automated workflows connecting ChangeGear to other enterprise systems, reducing manual data entry and improving data consistency.
Slow performance during critical periods and audits frustrates users who need reliable access when resolving high-priority incidents, especially during month-end evaluations.
Form configuration requires significant effort to streamline the end-user experience, leading to clunky submissions and increased support ticket volume.
Pricing is considered expensive for smaller organizations, with both subscription and perpetual license costs that may not align with smaller IT budgets.
Technical problems during urgent situations create risk when the system is needed most, prompting organizations to seek more reliable alternatives for business-critical support workflows.

What gets migrated
Serviceaide ChangeGear object support
Object-by-object support for Serviceaide ChangeGear migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Incidents
Fully supportedIncidents are the primary ticket object in ChangeGear. We migrate incidents 1:1 including status, priority, category, assignment, and timestamps. Related Configuration Item references are preserved as linked fields.
Changes
Fully supportedChange records include CAB approvals, risk assessments, and implementation timelines. We preserve the full change workflow state including any rejected or superseded Change records so audit trails remain intact.
Service Requests
Fully supportedService Requests follow a separate workflow from Incidents in ChangeGear. We map them to the destination's request type and preserve request item details, fulfillment records, and approval steps.
Problems
Mapping requiredProblem records link to their related Incidents via a known relationship type. Where the destination uses a different linkage model, we create a mapping table and apply the correct association after import.
Knowledge Articles
Mapping requiredKnowledge Base articles in ChangeGear include content, categories, and publication status. We extract the full article body and metadata; formatting differences between source and destination may require a content review pass post-migration.
Assets
Fully supportedHardware and software asset records migrate with license counts, warranty statuses, and last-seen dates. We handle both active and decommissioned asset flags and flag any records with missing required fields.
Configuration Items (CIs)
Mapping requiredCIs form a relational graph with dependencies, affected services, and linked Incidents. We preserve CI relationships explicitly; destination CI models vary significantly so we generate a relationship map and validate it against the target schema.
Users and Groups
Fully supportedUser records include role-based access assignments and group memberships. We migrate users with their current active or inactive status and preserve group hierarchies used for ticket routing and approval chains.
SLAs
Mapping requiredSLA definitions in ChangeGear include priority-to-SLA mappings and breach thresholds. We map these to the destination's SLA model but note that SLA timer behavior differs across platforms and should be validated post-import.
Tasks
Fully supportedTask records under Incidents, Changes, or Service Requests migrate with assignees, due dates, and completion status. We preserve the parent-child relationship to the owning record.
Attachments
Mapping requiredFile attachments linked to Incidents, Changes, or Knowledge Articles are migrated via URL reference or direct download-and-upload depending on the destination's attachment handling. We flag any attachments that exceed size limits.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields on Incidents, Changes, and other objects require explicit field-level mapping. We extract the custom field schema from ChangeGear and create a corresponding field map for the destination before any data is loaded.
