To CMDB or not to CMDB: Optimising Its Role in a Dynamic IT Landscape

A CMDB is essential for scalable ITSM, yet gaps in data accuracy, integration, and scope limit its effectiveness. This roundtable will explore how the CMDB can better support core ITSM use cases while debating which gaps should be closed and which should remain open. We’ll also examine adjacent use cases like SAM, BCDR, and network management, questioning where the CMDB should extend and where its limits should be set.
