CMDB-population challenges

Share of respondents rating each challenge severe (4 or 5 on a 1–5 scale).

Key Takeaways

  • Manual data collection and limited resource availability emerged as the most significant CMDB population challenges, highlighting the operational burden many organizations still face during OT onboarding processes.
  • Coordination and access-related issues further suggest that OT data population often depends on cross-functional collaboration and fragmented approval structures.
  • Connectivity and IT-to-OT data conversion challenges indicate that technical integration between environments remains complex, particularly in organizations with legacy infrastructure.
  • Overall, the findings reinforce that CMDB population challenges are driven not only by technology limitations, but also by operational complexity, governance maturity, and resource constraints.
