Advanced CMDB Management (ACMDB) application is the ultimate solution for CMDB Administrators, Business Application Owners, and Service Owners seeking to ensure accurate, consistent, and real-time CMDB data. ACMDB addresses the challenges of outdated, inconsistent, and siloed configuration management data, streamlining CMDB maintenance through automation and a user-friendly Configuration Management System (CMS) portal, backed by robust governance.
ACMDB automates alignment with ServiceNow’s Common Service Data Model (CSDM), enabling alignment of IT services with business objectives. Its Portal Class Manager empowers CMDB administrators to tailor data visibility by managing CMDB forms for the portal without any development effort.
By integrating ServiceNow’s certification and attestation solutions via an intuitive portal interface, ACMDB ensures seamless CI data validation, improving accuracy and consistency across your organization. ACMDB takes it a step further by enabling both CMDB Attribute and Relationship Certification, all from an intuitive portal.
With ACMDB, users can visualize up-to-date CI relationships, dependencies, and health metrics directly from the portal, leveraging built-in ServiceNow tools for real-time insights. This improves data visibility, enabling informed decision-making based on reliable data. The result is a modernized CMDB that drives better decision-making, improved data quality, increased operational efficiency, and reduced data maintenance overhead, enabling organizations to scale, manage, and consume CMDB data efficiently.
