Abstract: The research summarized here is directed at technology issues and priroities across the CMDB landscape in North America, EMA, APAC and the rest of the world, with concentration in North America. The goal was to bore deeply into technology issues and priorities for federation, CI modeling, reporting, discovery, application dependency mapping, and other areas. The research was also designed to assimlate 2009 realities with the relative fast-track that CMDB acceptance has so far sustained, to anticipate better where and how the CMDB “train” might be about to “derail.” Overall, however, the results were encouraging, and tend to support the idea that IT executives recognize the cost-saving values of CMDB deployments as creative approaches to working more effectively, instead of being scared away by the transformative nature of CMDBS initiatives. In other words, CMDB Systems are part of the cure to the economic downturn rather than being its casualties, or worse, part of the problem. |
