After the CMDBuild 2.4.1 release, which happened on last June, the new CMDBuild 2.4.2 version is almost ready to be released.

The development of the new version will take place during summer and it is expected to continue until the end of next September.

  • new features in the graph of relations: run filters to view or select only the nodes of interest, and print the graph
  • CMDBuild extension webservice to operate on the attributes of the relations and on the geographical attributes, currently unmanaged
  • improvements in the user interface of progress of parallel workflows
  • performance improvements in the management of classes containing high numbers of items
  • bug fixing

BIM and openMAINT webinar


On August 4th we will hold an international webinar during which we’ll go throught the advantages of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and openMAINT, thanks to the automatic synchronization of data and the availability of  a 3D IFC viewer.

The webinar will present:
  • An introduction to BIM and its benefits in real estate management and an overview of using ArchiCAD, one of the most widely used BIM compliant design products, proposed by Federico Lenarduzzi, CEO of Fermat Design
  • A focus on the BIM integration in openMAINT with a practical example of  a BIM model synchronized with openMAINT
  • An overview of the Facility Management BIM oriented with reference to frameworks, standards and future perspectives by Carlo Zanchetta of the University of Padova.
At the end of the presentation it will be possible to ask questions through the chat tool and get live answers from the speakers.
The webinar will be held in English.
Participation is free and registration is required by this form.

CMDBuild on field: SEC Servizi  (Italy)

SEC Servizi

In this newsletter we host the review of SEC Servizi (Italy).

SEC Servizi consortium is a joint stock company, based in Padua, established by banking institutions with the aim of providing banking operations and technology services to their members and customers.

For the provision of IT services SEC Services has an extensive technological infrastructure consisting of computer systems (over 2,000 servers, of which over 75% virtualized), storage systems (700 TB) and data transmission systems, with High mechanisms Availability and Disaster Recovery.

The complexity and heterogeneity of the systems to be managed has suggested to us the adoption of a centralized CMDB in which to gather information from the virtualization infrastructure, from the management applications and from other databases and tools already in use.

A goal of the project was also to extend the compliance with industry regulations, and in particular with Circular 285 of the Bank of Italy which requires the creation and constant update in time of an inventory of ICT (hardware assets, software, data , procedures), ensuring the proper change management and iT risk.

To meet these requirements SEC Servizi has chosen CMDBuild READY2USE.

The system has been activated with the support of Tecnoteca and forming an internal resource within SEC Servizi, which has now became independent in the extension of the data model activities, in the initial import of the information available in other formats and using the native functionalities of the application.

In the near future, SEC Servizi will implement additional system configuration activities including the development of connectors for automatic data synchronization with other available sources.
