Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Infrastructure and Service Visibility:** Gain a centralized, accurate, and up-to-date view of your IT environment through end-to-end discovery and service mapping. This creates a reliable Configuration Management Database (CMDB) that supports other ServiceNow applications to improve service quality and risk management. * **AIOps-Driven Issue Prevention and Resolution:** Utilize ITOM Health's advanced analytics and machine learning to transform events into actionable alerts, enabling rapid root-cause analysis and reducing mean time to repair (MTTR). This adapts dynamically to cloud and virtualized environments, surpassing traditional rule-based systems. * **Cloud Strategy Acceleration and Cost Reduction:** ITOM Optimization manages cloud resources throughout their lifecycle---discovery, provisioning, maintenance, and deprovisioning---leveraging ServiceNow-governed workflows for change, audit, security, and approvals. ITOM Governance workflows assist in cloud migration assessments, configuration checks, and remediation of invalid settings, facilitating efficient and compliant cloud operations. * **Licensing:** ITOM products such as ITOM Visibility, Discovery, Health, Health Log Analytics, Optimization, and Cloud Accelerate are licensed based on usage via the ServiceNow AI Platform. Licensing details are governed by your organization's customer contract. ## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers * Consolidate infrastructure and service data into a single source of truth for better decision making and reduced operational risk. * Leverage AIOps to automate monitoring and incident response, freeing IT staff from manual, error-prone tasks. * Accelerate cloud adoption with automated governance, resource optimization, and cost management using integrated workflows. * Improve service quality and compliance through a connected ecosystem of ITOM applications powered by an accurate CMDB. * Access specialized training and implementation guidance through ServiceNow's Customer Success Center and University to maximize value from ITOM solutions.

Discovery and Service Mapping give you a unified, connected view of your entire IT network and the services that it supports."). ## Avoid and solve service issues effectively {#r_ITOMApplications__section_jzr_jmr_qjb} ITOM Health uses the power of AIOps to turn events into actionable alerts. Pinpoint service issues and rapidly identify and remediate the root cause. Unlike legacy event management systems, which are static and rule based, ITOM Health applies machine learning and advanced analytics to correlate events, adapting automatically to rapidly evolving virtualized and cloud environments. For more information, see [ITOM Health](https://www.servicenow.com/content/dam/servicenow-assets/public/en-us/doc-type/resource-center/data-sheet/ds-itom-health.pdf). ## Accelerate cloud strategy and reduce costs {#r_ITOMApplications__section_z1v_jkr_qjb} ITOM Optimization enables you to manage the life-cycle of your cloud resources, from discovery to provisioning new resources, handling day-to-day changes and maintenance, until deprovisioning. All of these features are built on ServiceNow governed workflows, offering capabilities such as change, audit, security, and approval. Whether it is cloud migration assessment or a cloud resource configuration check, ITOM Governance offers workflows to enable the process, while also enabling you to remediate cloud tags and invalid configurations. Combining the strengths of agile and innovative capabilities in the Cloud with ITOM and the well-established ServiceNow framework ensures a successful transition. Accelerate your cloud strategy with IT Operations Management.
