CSDM

If you don't know what's broken, you can't control what breaks

The solution

The ServiceNow CMDB provides a single, authoritative system of record for your IT infrastructure and services. It maps relationships between configuration items, enabling you to understand dependencies, assess risk, and make informed decisions across your entire ServiceNow platform. Pulsar delivers CMDB using ServiceNow's CSDM v5 as the framework to ensure data is structured in line with best practice. For existing clients, our Luminosity offering strengthens and governs your CMDB to unlock value you're already paying for. For new implementations, we use our MVP roadmap aligned to crawl / walk / run / fly methodology.
