The new version CMDBuild READY2USE 2.1 has been released, with new features and based on the core code of CMDBuild 3.3.

One of the main news of the  CMDBuild READY2USE 2.1 version concerns the introduction of a specific support for the Asset Manager in keeping under control the quality of the information stored in the CMDB.

By defining the appropriate metrics, it will be possible, through a specific dashboard and some reports, to check the excessive “seniority” of the data (index of infrequent updates) and their possible incompleteness (information classified as important, not valued). It is also possible for the administrator to configure and differentiate the metrics parameters through a dedicated user interface.

The following further main improvements are also present:

• extension of the hardware catalog (models associated with asset cards);
• improvements in the asset handling process (new reason for return from maintenance, evidence of the current operator, better integration with the Request Fulfillment process, new user interface to configure specific attributes to be filled in for the different types of assets);
• review of SLA controls in the provision of services to users and implementation of a new control dashboard;
• rewrite of the sync connector with VMware (now supports vCenter 6.7);
• refactor of the sync connector with Zabbix, to collect and store information on faults and to start Incident Management processes;
• new connector with Microsoft SCCM, for the synchronization of workplaces data.
