Why the Search for Value Reigns in 2008 CMDB System Deployments 
by Dennis Drogseth, VP, EMA
In June and July of 2008, Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) conducted ground-breaking CMDB research targeting 174 quantitative questionnaire replies and more than 15 in-depth focal interviews. The goal was to capture the state of CMDB deployments in 2008 in terms of objectives, budgets, metrics, functional and packaging priorities, what’s working, what’s not, what adopters would recommend to their peers, and what they would have done differently.
The research has revealed that CMDB deployments are indeed at a fundamentally different stage than they have been over the past two to four years. Whereas in the past most adopters were in planning stages, currently many are looking to show value in first phase or second phase deployments.
