DCM R5.5 Released

by Mikko Juola | Apr 17, 2023 | Product Updates

The DCM version 5.5 was released in early April 2023. This release includes a lot of improvements to the Audit engine and several smaller enhancements to Blueprint Designer, Content Planner, Task creation, and reporting.

This release also makes DCM certified against the ServiceNow Utah release.

Please note! This version includes changes to how the audit works and this can impact your current data compliance reporting.

Here are some of the release highlights:

New “Dynamic Form Generator”
Field Descriptions as part of Field Setups
Task descriptions based on dynamic templates
Audit Performance Dashboard (beta) updated with execution time metrics
New “Data Management Summary (beta)” dashboard as an example of a management reporting view

In addition to the above, the following minor enhancements are also worth mentioning:

Changed how “Target Record Conditions” are audited and reported against the source record
Added record counts to Blueprint Designer
New metric data collected (and reported)
Renewed all standard dashboards

You can find more information on these and other improvements in the full release notes.

Data Content Manager

Systematic Approach. No Code.

Improve Data Quality

Get biweekly practical advice on improving data quality in your ServiceNow.

With CSDM providing a prescriptive data model and DCM providing a view of our data in a consumable manner, we are able to drive the necessary changes across the bank in a non-obtrusive way, which is seen to add value to our business, not be viewed as an operational overhead.

SVP, Danske Bank

DCM has delivered incredible value to our business by drastically accelerating application rationalization. What would have taken years to complete was achieved in just months. Its intuitive, well-designed GUI makes navigation seamless for both users and administrators. Most importantly, DCM has significantly matured our CMDB, bringing clarity and structure. We highly recommend both the product and the outstanding team at Qualdatrix.

Banner Health

My complex Blueprint was up and running in 10 minutes, and I got audit results immediately. It would have taken months to complete without DCM.

Enterprise Architect

Global Healthcare Company

DCM has been central in federating our dependency mapping to technical teams, and that momentum is building. It’s been a successful first year, and we’re extending use with additional blueprints.

DCM provides transparency and a holistic view of the state of our CMDB. It helps us find and fix deviations as they happen. It's vital that with DCM, we can see the big picture as well as drill down into the details at any time. We don't have to think about how to get this data together and how to update it. Once the Blueprint is set up and the audits run, it's all there in the dashboards.

Mika Lindström

ICT Configuration Manager, Metsäliitto Cooperative

Data Content Manager is an excellent tool to measure and control data quality in your ServiceNow instance. It offers much more sophisticated data model definitions than you can get with native CMDB data quality metrics which we were using previously, and this was our main reason for the purchase. It also comes with its own audit and remediation features which make data maintenance easier. Highly recommended!
