Note:  
Beginning with the ServiceNow AI Platform® Washington DC release, we will provide limited support for the Base Asset Management Core UI interface. While it remains active in your instance, including when you upgrade to a new ServiceNow AI Platform release, we encourage you to move to the new workspace experience.

Most successful ITAM programs involve various people and departments, including IT, finance, services, and end users.

Base Asset Management and the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) are related, but have different goals. Base Asset Management focuses on the financial tracking of company property. Configuration management focuses on building and maintaining elements that create an available network of services.
