CMDBuild (where CMDB stands for “Configuration and Management Data Base”) is a configurable web application to model and control a database containing assets and handle related workflow operations.
CMDBuild provides operators with a full control over the assets used, as well as with knowing exactly their composition, position, functional relations and history.
It also gives such a possibilities as automatic inventory, documents management, text processing, directory services, mailing, monitoring systems, intranet portals and other information systems.
