It really depends on orgnization size, assets types and also any other requirements. In some cases you can just tag digitally and in other cases you tag digitally and physical for examples, Laptops, Desktops, Servers. CMDB which is mostly internal to the organizations where all assets are stored, tagged and tracked. Some orgnization uses special asset management softwares as well. I see people using Qualys as asset management for security vulnerability management and compliance. In house vs outsourcing  also dependes on the size of the orgnization and funding. Based on my experience, CMDB in ServiceNow is used internally as a asset management software.

How do you manage process visualization within your company?
We're currently facing a challenge: while we can create process diagrams using tools like Miro or Visio, we're missing a structured way to manage versions. Ideally, we’d like to have a system where we can create a draft version of a process, review and iterate on it, and then publish a final "production" version that is locked and cannot be edited. How do you handle this kind of version control in your organization?
