Understanding IT Asset Management:
At its core, IT Asset Management involves the systematic tracking, monitoring, and optimization of
an organization's IT assets throughout their lifecycle. These assets can include hardware, software,
licenses, network devices, and even cloud resources. The central goal of ServiceNow ITAM is to gain
full visibility into your IT environment, ensuring that assets are utilized effectively, costs are
