CMDB: Here's a suggestion... ESS@Work
How about downloading a pre-built Pink Elephant verified No COST (ITSM/CMDB) solution? BTW: I spoke to several folks who have downloaded the ESS@Work solution recently and they like what they see. Their only concern seems to be it's not BMC's "canned" product. Right, it's managements view of the big guy vs the little guy, I get it. Ok so where is the rub? Need a solution that you can customize? A solution that won't break the bank, yes BMC's ITSM is six (figures) and then some. Need security? Interesting, on our website there is an itemized (albeit optional) Price List including the cost for SOURCE CODE if you want that extra level of security. That's right, the entire solution source code, licensed to your company. Check it out. Download a copy of ESS@Work today.

Updated for ITIL Version 3. There is a newer version that 2006. I'd recommend getting it from BMC's site rather than Google.

Searching Google finds an old, November 2006 book, "Step-by-Step Guide to Building a CMDB," is this what you are referring to? If so, 2006 seems a bit old. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug11 www.wwrug.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are" The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
