Business Challenge
IT organizations need to collect configuration items (CI) and CI relationship data to populate and maintain the CMDB. They need to identify assets and how they are configured. Today's number of IT components, their configurations, relationships between them, and the constant changes introduced by business and technology needs makes manual tracking difficult. It is impractical and costly to conduct manual audits and maintain IT service relationship and application dependency mapping information.
Business Need
- Auto-populate and maintain Configuration Management Database (CMDB) with CI and CI relationships
- Need a fast map of IT elements and the interdependencies of those elements
- Deploy changes to the infrastructure quickly and seamlessly
Our Solution
