Published on behalf of Tobin Isenberg

Here are a few of the most common reasons that CMDB implementations fail. They are in no particular order.

  • 1. Lack of Management Buy-in
  • 2. Owner of CI’s do not have easy access
  • 3. Garbage in, garbage out (and/or stale data)
  • 4. Lack of third party Integration
  • 5. 100% or NOTHING
  • 6. Hard to search/find things
  • 7. Over designed/engineered Schema
  • 8. One Stop Shopping
  • 9. Bottom Up = WRONG approach

Okay, for those of you not counting, I only listed 9, in the comments below… give me your 10th one. Don’t be shy, share a 10th one or a funny story about one.
