Streamlining ServiceNow IT Asset Management with Virima

Technology runs every part of your organization today. According to Gartner, global IT spending will reach $4.5 trillion in 2022 — a 5.5% jump from 2021. A large share of that budget goes toward managing IT assets. Your organization depends on hardware, software, and data to stay productive and competitive. So managing these assets well is not just helpful — it’s essential.

Virima integrates with ServiceNow IT asset management to give you full control. Its discovery features track every asset across on-premise, cloud, and data center environments. The dependency mapping feature shows how assets relate to each other. This supports smarter ITSM decisions. Together, Virima’s ViVID overlay and ServiceNow take your IT asset management to a whole new level.

The Need for IT Asset Management

IT Asset Management (ITAM) combines financial, inventory, contractual, and risk management practices. It helps you manage your IT assets throughout their full lifecycle. With ITAM, you can track every asset and make smarter investment decisions. Most importantly, it helps you get the most value from the technology you already own.

The Benefits of the ServiceNow and Virima Integration

Integrating Virima with ServiceNow brings powerful benefits to your IT operations. Let’s look at the most important ones.

Improved IT Asset and Configuration Management

ServiceNow’s CMDB is your central hub for hardware and software asset data. When you integrate Virima Discovery, your CMDB always holds the most accurate, up-to-date information. Virima automatically identifies every device, application, and service in your environment. This data then syncs with ServiceNow, giving you a complete picture of your IT assets.

With this integration, you make better decisions about asset procurement, maintenance, and retirement. Ultimately, it reduces costs and improves efficiency across your IT operations.

Accelerated Time to Value of ServiceNow CMDB

Virima Discovery makes it faster to get value from your ServiceNow CMDB. It automates asset discovery and mapping, so you don’t need to enter data by hand. Your CMDB fills up quickly with reliable, accurate information. Manual data entry is slow and error-prone — automation fixes both problems.

Once your CMDB is accurate, you can resolve IT issues faster. You can also optimize your infrastructure and make smarter investment decisions. The result is better service quality, less downtime, and happier end users.

Cost Savings

Integrating Virima with ServiceNow can save your organization significant money. In fact, Virima guarantees at least 50% savings over ServiceNow Discovery alone. Virima’s Service Mapping is also included, so you get even more value. These savings free up budget for more strategic IT initiatives.

Enhanced Service Mapping

Virima’s ViVID™ Service Mapping helps you visualize how your IT assets and services connect. When you integrate it with ServiceNow, you gain a deeper understanding of your IT infrastructure. You can clearly see dependencies and spot risks before they cause problems. This leads to better service delivery and less downtime.

Better IT Security and Compliance

A well-maintained CMDB is also a powerful security tool. When you know exactly what’s in your IT environment, you can quickly spot unauthorized or non-compliant devices. Virima and ServiceNow work together to keep that information accurate and current. This helps you meet industry standards and reduce the risk of security breaches.
