Srikanth, The good thing about the staging form is that you can push to it from anywhere. Using the flat file or csv the first time will work, but I would build it in such a way that you can leverage it from Oracle, SAP, LDAP, or whatever source of People data you can find to pull it from also.

We are planning to implement Asset and CMDB for the phase one. So we are planning to import the support group data/permisssions at a later stage. At this point of time, We are just planning to automate the people data to be available for use with Asset and CMDB. We plan to maintain the support group and updation of permissions manually. So I understand the CTM:People is the only other form, I have to look at. What would be the best strategy to load the data? Here is what I am planning - 1) Get the data from the different sources and create a single flat file containing all the fields to be imported 2) Load the data into a staging form where all the authentication of the data would be done 3) Push the data from the staging form to People and CTM:People form. Any suggestions/improvements to the above are welcome. All your imputs would be very valuable and helpful for me.
