In the ever-evolving landscape of IT asset management, organizations seek efficient solutions to manage their software assets effectively.

Software discovery is the first step, where SAM Pro automatically identifies installed software across devices within the organization. This process provides visibility into the software landscape, enabling organizations to understand their software inventory comprehensively [2].
Normalization follows, where SAM Pro aggregates software installation records into discovery models based on publisher, product, and version. This process standardizes software data, ensuring consistency and accuracy in reporting [4]. Additionally, manual normalization allows users to refine and tailor software data to meet specific organizational requirements [6].
By leveraging software discovery and normalization in ServiceNow SAM Pro, organizations can achieve greater control and visibility over their software assets. This enables informed decision-making, cost optimization, and compliance adherence, ultimately driving efficiency and maximizing value for the organization.
In conclusion, embracing software discovery and normalization in ServiceNow SAM Pro empowers organizations to effectively manage their software assets, laying the foundation for a streamlined and optimized IT asset management process.
