The Value of Standards-based CMDB Federation

Publisher's description

SACM and CMS help an enterprise implement an overall strategy that aligns business and IT services accurately, with a minimum of resource investment, but to achieve those goals, a range of data sources must be integrated. Without an industry standard for integrating IT data sources, this integration is expensive, difficult to maintain, and unlikely to be effectively implemented. The CMDBf standard provides a foundation for consistent, vendor-neutral implementation of IT integration.
