Precisely Launches Mainframe Software Discovery Tool for ServiceNow

Precisely and ServiceNow have partnered to address a structural gap in enterprise IT management: mainframe systems, which remain critical for many large organizations, have historically operated in isolation from modern IT asset tracking. By building Ironstream™ z/OS Software Discovery as a native application on the ServiceNow AI Platform, Precisely enables organizations to bring mainframe software into their central Configuration Management Database—the authoritative record of IT assets that ServiceNow customers already rely on.

This matters operationally and strategically. On the operational side, it eliminates the error-prone, labor-intensive work of manually maintaining separate inventories for mainframe software. On the compliance side, it provides continuously updated, audit-ready data that organizations can use to validate software licenses, meet regulatory requirements, and pass vendor audits. For IT and operations teams, it means they can manage their entire infrastructure—from mainframes to cloud systems—from a single view, reducing the cognitive load and risk that comes with fragmented tooling.

Precisely's position as a ServiceNow Build partner underscores the value of ecosystem integration; rather than asking customers to stitch together separate tools, the companies are embedding mainframe visibility directly into the platform customers already use for IT operations and asset management.
