Businesses have been striving to simplify formerly complex problems and meet their digitization objectives for decades, beginning with the first microchip in the 1950s. Consider the banking industry — before ATMs, customers were at the beck and call of in-person banks, operating during the short ‘banker’s hours’ to conduct financial transactions. If relying on human labor for a repetitive task was not problematic enough for customers that simply wanted to cash their paychecks after work, banks faced chronic labor reductions in the mid-1960s. This inflection point led to adaptation using newly ..read more

CMDB, or Configuration Management Database, is a term associated, or at least has its origin, with ITIL, the set of IT Service Management best practices developed by the UK’s Government. The topic can be highly complex, with a wealth of information written on ITIL and the associated guidance for CMDB implementation.

These investments can be significant, and it is important to point to business benefits such as increased productivity, operational efficiency, and business continuity.

What is shift-left?
“Shift-left” is a phrase that is commonly used when speaking about service and support management. As companies are under pressure to reduce the cost of support and improve end-user satisfaction the conversation around shifting left is becoming more mainstream. The shift-left approach refers to moving service actions or steps closer to the end-user for more immediate results, and lowered costs.
