CIS-HAM Exam Dumps : Certified Implementation Specialist - Hardware Asset Management

To find the answer, I searched for “ServiceNow Hardware Asset Management IT asset vs. CI” using my search_web tool.

I found several relevant web pages that explain the difference between an IT asset and a CI in ServiceNow.

I learned that an IT asset is any financially valuable component that can contribute to the delivery of an IT product or service, while a CI is any component that needs to be managed in order to deliver an IT service12.

I also learned that an IT asset is often a CI, but not all CIs are IT assets12.

Therefore, a component is considered an IT asset vs. a CI when you want to do the following:

Manage its procurement, maintenance, or retirement

Track its monetary value or costs

Manage its associated license, warranty, or lease contracts

These are the aspects that relate to the financial value and lifecycle of the component, which are relevant for IT asset management34.

The other options, such as tracking its operational information and knowing its relationships to other assets in the CMDB, are more relevant for CI management, which is part of configuration management35.

According to the Hardware Asset Management documentation, non-consumable assets are assets that are not depleted or used up when they are applied or consumed, such as laptops, monitors, or routers.

Non-consumable assets are tracked individually in the ServiceNow platform, and each asset has a unique asset tag and serial number.

When transferring non-consumable assets between stockrooms, they must be transferred as a single entity with a quantity of one, as stated in the Hardware Asset Management documentation: “Non-consumable assets are transferred as a single entity with a quantity of one. For example, a laptop is transferred as a single entity with a quantity of one.”

Therefore, the correct answer is option C, as a single entity with a quantity of one. References:
