// Initialize framework
const integration = new EnterpriseIntegration({
  timeout: 30000,
  retryAttempts: 3,
  enableMetrics: true,
  enableCaching: true
});

// Execute ServiceNow integration
const incidents = await integration.executeIntegration(
  'servicenow',
  'getIncidents',
  { limit: 50, query: 'state=1^priority=1' },
  { useCache: true, cacheTTL: 300 }
);

// Create governance incident
const newIncident = await integration.executeIntegration(
  'servicenow',
  'createIncident',
  {
    title: 'Governance Policy Violation',
    description: 'Unauthorized application detected',
    priority: '2',
    category: 'ICT Governance'
  }
);
