11 Similarities The Asset Registry is the definitive source of information regarding what the organization owns, utilises and needs to account for. It includes discovered and non-discovered hardware and software, contractual, financial, warranty, supplier, license, invoice, lease, geographic, ownership and allocation/assignee details. The CMDBis the definitive source of information (CI s) necessary for the effective, efficient and economical delivery of IT Service Management.

12 Incident and Problem Management Provides the Service Desk and other IT staff with: Critical asset configuration details. Ownership information such as lease details, warranty and service contracts. Identifies problematic configurations or device conflicts. Leads to improve first-call resolution rates and speed Mean Time to Repair (MTTR). Extracts relationship data. Provides services to keep data current
