  • IT asset tracking: Why having all the data won't suffice

    To sustain, build, or even transform your business, you need to know the technology assets that drive it. And if your job is to track these assets, you need a clearer and broader picture of everything you have.

    But how do you build a bigger and better picture of assets in your enterprise?

    Explore in this e-book the kind of data you need to see all your software, hardware, and cloud-based assets – as well as cloud resources that are often overlooked.

  • Optimizing cloud costs through visibility and automation

    Cloud spending is set to reach 26% of IT budgets, but mismanagement leads to 40% overspending. With 30% of cloud workloads oversized and a quarter of subscriptions dormant, manual cost tracking is ineffective, and disparate systems hinder automation.

    FinOps teams need to align tech efforts with budget limits. ServiceNow Cloud Cost Management offers a unified platform to monitor hybrid cloud expenses, budget effectively, optimize resources, and deactivate unused services. ServiceNow users report significant savings from rightsizing and identifying inactive resources.
