Rapid CMDB & Discovery Enablement for an Insurance Company
Client Profile
-
Industry: Insurance
-
Size: Small Enterprise
-
Duration: 2 Weeks
-
Objective: Improve CMDB data quality and usability through Discovery and SCCM integration
Executive Overview
A growing insurance organization relied on ServiceNow Express for incident management but lacked a reliable Configuration Management Database (CMDB) foundation. Most computer-related incidents were not tied to accurate Configuration Items (CIs), resulting in time-consuming investigations and limited reporting visibility.
ConfigureTek delivered a rapid Discovery implementation and SCCM integration, transforming the CMDB into a trusted operational asset within just two weeks.
The Challenge
-
Manual and incomplete CI creation
-
Limited visibility into servers, workstations, and network devices
-
Incidents not reliably linked to accurate CIs
-
Inconsistent data preventing effective reporting
-
No structured foundation for service mapping or asset lifecycle management
The organization needed an automated, scalable solution to improve CMDB trust and usability.
