ServiceNow

Overview

ServiceNow provides service management software as a service, including IT services management (ITSM), IT operations management (ITOM), and IT business management (ITBM).

An accurate Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is crucial for your ITSM program. It can often be a single source of truth for tracking and managing IT assets. Axonius collects data across multiple adapters to perform CMDB Reconciliation and Remediation.
