technology assets.{#c_AssetManagement__ovy_3pk_rx}  
Hinweis:  
Beginning with the ServiceNow AI Platform® Washington DC release, we will provide limited support for the Asset Management Core UI interface. While it remains active in your instance, including when you upgrade to a new ServiceNow AI Platform release, we encourage you to move to the new workspace experience. For more information, see [KB1584548](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1584548), [Exploring Asset Management
Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=exploring-asset-management&version=australia&pubname=australia-it-asset-management&ft:locale=en-US) and [Next Experience UI](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=next-experience-landing-page&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US).

Most successful ITAM programs involve various people and departments, including IT, finance,
services, and end users.

Asset Management and the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) are related, but have
different goals. Asset Management focuses on
the financial tracking of company property. Configuration management focuses on building and
maintaining elements that create an available network of services.
