CMDB Design & Implementation

A CMDB needs to work in practice, not just exist

Many CMDBs are technically implemented, but don’t support day-to-day operations.

Data structures are inconsistent.

Relationships are incomplete.

Ownership is unclear. 

Inappropriate KPIs are used.

The result is a system that exists, but isn’t used.

Build your CMDB on solid foundations

A successful CMDB depends on how it is designed from the outset.

We design CMDB environments that are:

Structured around accurate configuration data

Built with clear relationships and dependencies

Integrated with discovery tools and external data sources

Supported by governance and lifecycle processes

This ensures the CMDB reflects how your organisation actually operates.

CMDB Design & Implementation

Designed for real-world environments

Your CMDB should support core operational processes, including:

Incident management

Change management
Change management
Vulnerability management
Vulnerability management
Service management
Service management
Risk and compliance
Risk and compliance

We ensure your configuration management supports these processes, rather than subsist separately from them.

Avoid common implementation failures

Many CMDB implementations fail over time due to:

  • Poor CI modelling
  • Missing or inaccurate relationships 
  • Ineffective discovery tools
  • Lack of ownership, governance, and data management processes

We address these issues during design and implementation, ensuring long-term usability.
