	CMDBuild case history CSI-Piemonte is a consortium of public organizations founded in 1977 by the Piemonte Region and Polytechnic University of Turin to create a regional information system and provide innovative IT services. CSI-Piemonte deals with information systems, web services and network infrastructures in areas like health, business, land, environment and culture. The CSI has identified CMDBuild as the solution to manage IT assets, it's lighter than other high-end products, but equally effective and more flexible in configuration and usage. Tecnoteca provides to CSI-Piemonte maintenance services for the production environment and has more recently extended the cooperation supporting the technical team for the management of precesses regarding assets life cycle.

	CMDBuild in other languages The presence of CMDBuild on Source Forge provides useful information on its geographical distribution, showing that files downloaded in Italy cover less than 10% of the total donwloads. Based on these informations, Tecnoteca is going to support and promote activities to translate the documentation and work on software localizations. With the newly released version both activities are considered. Also, the Technical Manual is now available in English language, in addition to the Administrator Manual and User Manual. In the last release we included also the following localizations: Italian (Tecnoteca) English (Tecnoteca) Spanish (Ines Rubbini, Buenos Aires - Argentina) Serbian - both Latin and Cyrillic (Miroslav Zaric, University of Novi Sad - Serbia) French (Lasson Jean - France) Russian (Andrei Khlebnikov, Irkutsk - Russia) Brazilian Portuguese (Jacqueline Simon Pius Lomonaco, IPPLUS, Belo Horizonte - Brazil)
