The Power of a Mature CMDB in ServiceNow
Maturing your CMDB in ServiceNow is the first step into an AI future, as using AI in conjunction with a mature CMDB can provide even greater solutions and benefits.

By maintaining correct information, the CMDB in ServiceNow is the single source of truth for an organization, enabling IT teams to improve service delivery, ensure compliance and governance, and make great data-driven decisions. Additionally, a mature CMDB offers continuous improvement as it allows you to consistently import accurate, certified data from external sources.
