Manage asset lifecycle and utilization

The best IT thinkers know that IT asset management brings together financial, contractual, and inventory functions to support life cycle management and decision making for IT.

If you are like most IT asset managers, you probably find software license management painful. ServiceNow lets you automate software license tracking so you can reallocate licenses to where they are actually needed. You can manage a wide variety of license types, including those based on CPU types, location, named users, subscriptions, and much more. You can also extend the model to accommodate licenses based on any configuration item (CI) type. So even if we haven't thought of it, you can still manage it.

Of course, a foundation to effective IT asset management is knowing what's out there in the first place. This is where ServiceNow Discovery with application dependency mapping comes in. Built on the ServiceNow platform, you benefit from the same look and feel, and there are no integration issues. Discovery not only gets you information on applications, computers, network gear, printers, and powering devices, it will also create a map to show how all these CIs are related.
