Learn how to build a Configuration Management Database (CMDB) on #SharePoint Online

All IT departments need to keep track of assets for which they are responsible from the physical servers, virtual servers, switches, to IP addresses, software, licenses, and other less tangible things.  Many shops keep all of their IP addresses on a spreadsheet and prove just how bad it is when multiple people need access at any given time.  Scott is going to show you how to keep track of all of those configurable items using SharePoint to improve your IT shop’s collaboration and communication because 90% of all downtime is due to a bad change in the environment.  Starting with the CMDB, you’ll see how you can expand it to enable change management, release management, and more based on the ITIL framework.
