The current organization I'm working with are in the progress of upgrading from HP SOA Systinet 2.x to 3.0, and there has been a lot of talk about how the information in the register/repository could be integrated with a CMDB. The IT operation would like to be able to track a fault/problem all the way from the business process down to a switch, network card or a cpu in a server and vice versa. I haven't seen a fully automated solution to this yet, and I haven't had the time to participate in the evaluation of HP SOA Systinet 3.0, but it was interesting to read this article, where Kelly Emo from HP says:

"The new SOA infrastructure component captures more than UDDI information, it encompasses best practices, CMDB information, and sets the stage for a wider culture of governance"

I'm not that familiar with the ITIL v3 processes (just got registered for some training in November), but from what I understand of IT Service Management, I see no reason why the techniques of service management shouldn't be applicable to either IT services (e.g. Build me a new server) or business services that are supported by It solutions such as a Web Service.

As for the tooling, I absolutely think that we'll see convergence in the CMDB space and the Service Registry/Repository space. I've blogged on this in the past, as early as August of 2006, but my prediction has yet to come true. I think there's still too big of a gap between the development side of IT and the operational side of IT to really establish a market for a converged product.

Dear friends,

How ITIL v3 processes could be applied to Services Lifecycle ... or in
SOA Management area?.

Is it possible that SOA/ITIL vendors approach in a future a
convergence between the CMDB and Repository products?

Regards,

jose
