ServiceNow ITOM (IT Operations Management) is a suite of applications within the ServiceNow platform that provides organizations with tools and capabilities for managing and optimizing their IT operations. ITOM encompasses a wide range of functionalities designed to improve the availability, performance, and security of IT services.

Here are some key features of ServiceNow ITOM:

1.

This helps organizations understand how different IT services are interconnected and enables effective management of service impacts during incidents or changes.
2. Event Management: Event Management collects and processes events from various IT sources, such as system logs, monitoring tools, and external sources, to identify and prioritize incidents in real-time. It helps IT teams quickly detect and resolve issues, minimizing downtime and improving service availability.
3.

This helps organizations predict and prevent incidents, optimize IT operations, and improve service quality.
4. Cloud Management: Cloud Management enables organizations to manage their cloud resources, such as virtual machines, storage, and networking, from within the ServiceNow platform. It provides capabilities for provisioning, monitoring, and managing cloud resources, helping organizations efficiently utilize and optimize their cloud investments.
5. Discovery and Dependency Mapping: Discovery and Dependency Mapping automates the discovery and tracking of IT assets and their relationships, including hardware, software, and virtual resources, in a centralized CMDB (Configuration Management Database). This helps organizations maintain accurate and up-to-date information about their IT assets, which is critical for effective IT asset management and compliance.
6. Orchestration: Orchestration allows organizations to automate IT processes and tasks across different systems and tools, both within and outside of the ServiceNow platform. It helps streamline IT operations, reduce manual efforts, and ensure consistent and reliable execution of IT processes.

This helps IT teams make data-driven decisions and continuously improve the quality of IT services.
