Mapping Data

The CMDB is a central repository of data on the assets in an enterprise. It contains information about software licenses, hardware configurations, and other IT assets.

The CMDB is used to track and manage these items, which means it must be able to integrate with the asset management systems that are used throughout the enterprise.

One of the most important tasks for a configuration management database is to synchronize this data with those systems so that they are all up-to-date and aligned.

When organizations start building their CMDBs, they often find that there are multiple disparate systems within their enterprise that all have different methods for tracking and managing their assets.

A CMDB must also integrate with these disparate systems as well as other parts of the business including Human Resources (HR), Finance, and Sales & Marketing (S&M).

A CMDB not only integrates with other departments within a company but across companies as well. If two or more companies collaborate or share resources, it can become imperative to keep track of what those resources are and who is using them.

To achieve this effectively, a Configuration Management Database (CMDB) must synchronize with other enterprise resource management tools, such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems and CRM (Customer Relationship Management) applications. Essentially, integrating asset mapping data into your CMDB is indispensable.
