Facilities management is concerned with the management and upkeep of various operations that ensure the safety, productivity, and efficiency of a building's occupants. Facilities management includes anything from groundskeeping and security measures to cleaning and maintaining HVAC systems. Some of the activities included in facility management are  Asset management and monitoring, equipment and maintenance services, project planning, health & security management, environmental services, and catering and hospitality. The tasks involved in successful facilities management (FM) can be divided into two categories: hard FM services and soft FM services. The former is concerned with physical assets such as plumbing and electricity, while the latter is concerned with processes that improve the workplace, such as security and custodial services.

IT asset management, also known as ITAM, is a process that enables organizations to effectively manage and track their hardware, software, and digital assets throughout their lifecycle. It involves inventorying, monitoring, and controlling the assets to ensure they are utilized efficiently, maintained properly, and meet regulatory and security standards. One of the key features of IT asset management is asset discovery, which enables organizations to gather detailed information about their assets, such as hardware and software configurations, usage data, and license information.
