With a open data model and high flexibility, you get a tailor-made solution without spending a fortune on software or developers. - 03 ### A solution that's easy to adopt The key to adoption is to provide software solutions that are familiar and enjoyable to work in. Starhive provides a clean, modern UI and highly customisable and branded portals to help your colleagues feel safe submitting tickets. ## Get real value from AI AI is changing the ITSM landscape. But without context on your business, your infrastructure and assets, and a history of ticket resolutions, AI cannot deliver value. Starhive's database is designed for AI. Any additional context AI might require can be pulled into Starhive to increase accuracy and offload admin work so you can focus on the tough questions. Today Starhive's Nova AI can analyse your asset database to help with budget forecasts or assess the potential impact of changes by navigating dependencies.

Starhive is especially great for teams that are beginning their journey into IT service management software and starting to get processes in place, as you can build Starhive out as you go along. For large teams already using an ITSM tool and looking to migrate, it’s perfectly possible, but we recommend working with one of our [partner companies](https://starhive.com/partner-program) as there's additional considerations involved. What use case would you recommend IT teams start with? It will depend on the team and what is causing you the most pain today. You can always add more functionality, data, and apps to your system in future. However, we believe you can’t go too wrong with asset management. Every IT team needs to track something and we’ve seen that implementing a simple solution from nothing (or from a spreadsheet) can have huge benefits for the team and the company’s bottom line. ## Get the latest insights [Visit the blog](https://starhive.com/blog) - [![CMDBs help manage physical and virtual IT equipment](https://starhive.com/images/blog/10-cmdb-best-practices/scott-rodgerson-pspf-xgom5w-unsplash.webp) IT Service Management (ITSM) ### The 10 CMDB best practices for successful business implementation If you're here, chances are you're planning to implement or improve a configuration... 8 min read](https://starhive.com/blog/10-cmdb-best-practices) - [![IT asset data model](https://starhive.com/images/blog/getting-started-with-itsm-for-small-teams-a-simple-guide-to-streamlined-service-delivery/data-model-it-assets.webp) IT Service Management (ITSM) ### Getting started with ITSM:: A guide to streamlined service delivery For many small teams, IT Service Management (ITSM) might sound like it’s reserved for... 6 min read](https://starhive.com/blog/getting-started-with-itsm-for-small-teams-a-simple-guide-to-streamlined-service-delivery) - [![IT Infrastructure Server](https://starhive.com/images/blog/itsm-vs-itom-whats-the-difference/pexels-brett-sayles-2881229.webp) IT Service Management (ITSM) ### ITSM vs ITOM: What’s the difference?
