Business Challenges
- No asset tagging, leading to many tags having blank and duplicate serial numbers.
- Configuration Items (CIs) were often created without proper linkage to the parent asset records
- Inconsistencies in asset tracking due to no serial numbers for hardware-related asset classes.
- ServiceNow IRE (IRE) was not enabled, causing duplication and erroneous CI attributes
Business Solutions
- Asset tags were made mandatory and allocated for all asset records.
- Strict association between CIs and assets was enforced to ensure proper information was entered.
- Validations were set up at all data entry points to ensure that required attributes were consistently populated
- Identification and Reconciliation Engine (ServiceNow IRE) was enabled to prevent duplicate CIs.
