ITOM Optimization application automates the cloud workflows that you use to manage the cloud resources throughout their life cycles. You can also deploy certified and enterprise-compliant clouds, get visibility into
your costs, and manage other cloud management processes. Cloud Provisioning and Governance was enhanced and updated in the Yokohama release.

## About ITOM Optimization {#itom-optimization-rn__itom-optimization-rn-highlights}

Legacy workflows have been upgraded and seamlessly migrated to the advanced Workflow Studio to align with the latest standards and ensure modern compliance. Additionally, all default (Out of Box) workflows have been redesigned to provide enhanced performance, improved usability, and a more
streamlined experience.{#itom-optimization-rn__itom-optimization-rn-highlights-1}
