IT organizations are looking to CMDBs as a cure for all that ails IT. With the compliance and auditing continuum and unprecedented increases in change activity, IT forges ahead transforming to a business service provider. Through all this everyone is convinced that CMDB’s will provide a mechanism for improved visibility understanding the impact of change. However, CMDB’s are complex, complicated projects and require significant preliminary work to ensure a successful implementation. This presentation provides useful information about where to start with a focus on organizational alignment, process design, data population and, of course, vendor selection. If a CMDB is in your company’s future, or you’re not sure, this presentation is not to be missed.
Key Issues:

  • What are the tools to build and populate your CMDB and its IT services?
  • How and where do you start – so you don’t have to start again?
