Case history

Lafarge France has been using CMDBuild for the past 3 years.

It has been chosen because it was (and still is) the best OpenSource CMDB solution and can even easily compare with big vendors solutions (e.g. ServiceNow).

We use a home made model heavily based on TOGAF(r) and ArchiMate(r) (both registered trademarks of The Open Group), promoting CMDBuild to a full feature Enterprise Architecture Repository.

Thanks to CMDBuild and its data integration and reporting capability, we have now a clear view of our assets (even some intagible ones) and are able to really manage our services and costs.

The possibilities offered by such a tool are really endless, our teams use it every day for a lot of purposes (manual updates, impact analysis, report...) and would not be as efficient without it.

I highly recommend it.
