The plugin that helps alleviate inconsistencies in company names is the Normalization Data Services plugin, which is part of the ServiceNow IT Asset Management suite1.

The Normalization Data Services plugin provides a set of features and capabilities that enable you to standardize and normalize data across various tables and fields in ServiceNow, such as manufacturer names, model names, software names, and company names12.

The Normalization Data Services plugin uses a combination of rules, dictionaries, and algorithms to identify and correct data inconsistencies, such as spelling errors, abbreviations, synonyms, and duplicates12.

The Normalization Data Services plugin can help you improve the quality and accuracy of your data, reduce manual efforts and errors, and enhance reporting and analysis12. References:

Classes are represented as tables in the ServiceNow database that define the attributes and relationships of a specific type of record1

The base asset class is the alm_asset table, which contains the common fields and properties for all types of assets, such as hardware, software, consumable, etc.2

The alm_asset table is extended by other asset classes, such as alm_hardware, alm_software, alm_consumable, etc., which add more specific fields and properties for each asset type2

The cmdb_asset table is not a class, but a view that joins the alm_asset table and the cmdb_ci table, which is the base configuration item (CI) class3

The cmdb_hardware table is a CI class, not an asset class, that contains the common fields and properties for all types of hardware CIs, such as computers, devices, network equipment, etc.4
