The opinion of some users of CMDBuild, CMDBuild READY2USE and openMAINT.

Toscana Regional Council (Italy)

Requirements

The Regional Council is a legislative institution of the Region.

The Toscana Regional Council staff is made ​​up of officers and council members.

The ICT Service manages the whole institution, supporting both, officers and council members.

Manager decisions, staff reductions and the attention to service quality led to a growing interest in the ITIL world.

CMDBuild was the right tool to use, it could be integrated respecting some basic technical requirements:

  • dynamic management of classes and relations
  • configuration of custom workflows, according to data model
  • integration with intranet portals to create a social network and support collaboration between users and IT structure
  • open source, to support community and improve the application

Opinion

Our office provides support services to approximately 500 members of the Regional Council, managing infrastructure and network services in collaboration with internal staff (approx. 5 employees) and Carlo Cammelli (manager).

In 2006 we find out that the ITIL world was the right choice to keep high services quality, but fewer resources.

ITIL was useful not only for IT but also to handle movable assets (inventory) in the PA.

We teamed up to analyze and handle inventory so that it could be a good input for the CMDB.

CMDBuild was the best tool to solve our problems and support our work.

It's really interesting that CMDBuild supports ITIL because we believe in the ITIL guidelines to improve our services; also, CMDBuild is open source, and this gives us the possibility to share our knowledge and experience with other users.
