Your ServiceNow investment is only as valuable as the data flowing into it. The OpenText™ Universal Discovery and CMDB integration is now available as a certified app on the ServiceNow Store, and it’s the pathway to the upgrade your CMDB has been waiting for.
THE ESSENTIALS: Before diving in, ensure your foundation is solid. Read: What is a CMDB?What does OpenText Universal Discovery and CMDB do?
OpenText Universal Discovery and CMDB is a vendor-neutral enterprise discovery and CMDB software solution that accurately finds software and hardware configuration items across on-prem, network, and multicloud environments and stores that configuration information for multiple users. OpenText Universal Discovery and CMDB updates continuously (rather than daily or hourly), stores data that is useful beyond ITSM use cases (such as security and asset management), and automatically builds and maintains living service models for troubleshooting and reduced risk of change.

Why does the data in my CMDB matter?
A well-populated CMDB does more than keep configuration records tidy.
