Root Cause & Impact Analysis in ServiceNow is essential, but it is sometimes not clear what you need to have in place to do it. This is especially true for Application Services since they are not self-evident for many ServiceNow users.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
