Frequently asked questions

What is CMDB software?

CMDB stands for a configuration management database and should provide you with the information that is needed to run efficient ITSM processes. It is a place where you can track every component of IT in your IT ecosystem. You can also view the relationships between your assets, applications, business services, people, and anything else you want to track and manage that is related to configuration. A CMDB software allows you to automatically import data on your assets, software products, and catalog items from other SysAid modules to the CMDB.

How does SysAid’s CMDB help keep track of your assets?

Your company’s IT activities are composed of IT services, computers, software, mobile devices, network infrastructure, people, and so much more. SysAid’s CMDB enables you to record IT inventory and non-IT ‘components’ as CIs, and to map out the relationship between them. SysAid’s CMDB allows you to keep track of every component to better understand the impact of a changed CI on the CIs it has a relationship with.

Can I define the relationship between CIs with CMDB?

Yes. With SysAid’s CMDB, you can define the relationship between your CIs and view them in intuitive graphical maps. By defining the physical and logical connections, this will help you better plan strategic change and planning.
