CMDB Journey

The CMDB a core component of ServiceNow that enables organizations to structure and manage their service data through a centralized model. In this benchmark, we focus on how organizations implement and scale CMDB, with particular emphasis on internal effort, data loading approaches, and the evolution of roles, teams, and governance models over time. The goal is to understand what drives successful CMDB implementations and how different approaches impact delivery, efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
