I have implemented Asset 6 and am in the process of implementing Asset 7. If your company wants a strong Asset Managemnt application with the ability to bring in data from multiple resources and use the CMDB Reconciliation Engine to compare and update the data is very useful. The extras in Asset that provide relationship building for both users and dependecies can provide the CI viewer with the map of the whole network. You also have the ability of tracking contracts and using the purchasing module. if you have Change Management being able to do a full Change process that a discovery tool confirms the change was made to close it can be very useful. You can always get the sales pitch from BMC if you need more justification. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Wed, 7 Feb 2007 9:40 AM Subject: Thoughts on Asset Management
** Good Morning List, We are gearing up to implement CMDB 2.0 and are considering bringing on Asset Management as well. I would like to get some feedback on the Asset product. What experiences you have encountered, (good or bad), how well does it work with CMDB 2.0 and whether or not you recommend it.
