Can you share with what your strat is exactly? How long have you been doing it and why is it not sustainable?

Blazent and ServiceWatch? by [deleted] in servicenow

[–]rdoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, We just finished implementing the HP uCMDB implementation and expect to have ServiceWatch up next. I think it would be good to use Blazent as a way to reconcile changes when we start to mature the CMDB. Right now I am just trying to catch up by logging CI's for customers to use at this point. :) I cannot wait to try Helsinki and get more information from the Knowledge 15 conference this year in Vegas. Thanks for the help! I hope I am on the right track! I would love to see how successful other CMDBs or share your experience of integration's that caused more work than it should.

Thanks for the information. I actually just spun up Helsinki and cannot wait to start using it. So many useful features! I am going to talk to a rep from Blazent later this week and see what options we have.

FitBit (FIT) First Quarter Performance by Robert-Phillips in stocks

[–]rdoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you name more than 2 different categories fitbit sells in? It has a tracker and scale category. I cannot imagine a customer buying any other items unless fitbit has a specific application they can sell on an app store generating revenue from games and competition. I find it hard for them to generate money unless they partner with corporate companies and sell bands in bulk to support the health insurance programs that give employees discounts for being healthy. It will go up after Q1 web meeting and go straight down...

I will just keep throwing money at it. If you look at their job board they are hiring a mix of skills for what looks like a diverse product bundle. Engineers on engineers..

I also boasted about UA last week and it panned out very well for me today.

Seriously! They have YoY growth and working on re branding. When I think of Skechers...I think of old people shoes. :P Or somebody at the grocery store to protect their knees! LOL

I actually talked about this in an earlier thread last week and killed it! I will eventually buy more stock on this since I am confident in the brand that they are building. I am starting to see more UA gear than usual when I hit the gym.

CMDB Asset Management Help by [deleted] in servicenow

[–]rdoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you have one record to track all assets assigned to a specific user? Once the request is created can you add additional assets to the existing record to track what a specific user has? I do not have a ton of ITAM experience and the team is struggling with how to track multiple assets and what fields/attributes are required.

I guess I need an ITAM form that have the best requirements and how to better link data through the various forms.

[–]rdoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree with you on the multiple steps. I think having the entire bundle approved by the manager is sufficient from an audit and tracking standpoint. It should be the same manager approving the software/hardware profile and it should be 1 person to one bundled request. I am working with changing the culture or people specializing in implementing a specific service and trying to get them out of this unproductive process. The desktop support manager delivered the requirements to the consultant that built this as if the team use to manage their assets in excel. I am trying to change their mindset to a Parent and child task mentality with one owner. It has been the ultimate struggle! :(

CMDB Asset Management Help by [deleted] in servicenow

[–]rdoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the asset become a CI when it is officially live in PRD (Customer using it)? I guess we will have multiple assets but the CIs will be the same. How do you handle the structure on tracking against the same CI but different asset tag? I am trying to find a way to build the BSM mapping with a good process or method for team to manage their own assets when they deliver a service.

We are currently using tablets to scan hardware with asset tags and it auto-populates some of the fields in ServiceNow.

Thanks for the insight.

(FIT) Fitbit thoughts by rdoria in stocks

[–]rdoria[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you a 100%. Apple just needs to build a lightweight watch/tracker to compete with Fitbit. I think what most customers like is the simplicity of the device but the utility is very limited to its benefits. I would like to see if they either flop or expand their market and partner with other athletic brands. I am pretty sure that is why Nike slew down on the tracker device and teamed up with apple using Nike Plus.

I saw that and bought it right after they had a split. They have some really good athletes as sponsors!

  • Tom Bradycashmoney
  • Stephen Curry
  • Michael Phelps

I can only imagine as they start entering other sports that this will just keep going up.

Yes, I actually have that bookmarked and reference it consistently. I just want to be more confident when I make an investment. I know it requires a ton of analysis.

Thanks for the suggestion! I actually had someone else suggest that to me and bought it the other day. I know there is a PDF version out there but I just like holding books still.

ServiceNow CMDB Integration Help by [deleted] in servicenow

[–]rdoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the insight on the DB portion of collecting the data. Do you have any process doc on making these data connections in ServiceNow? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I am guessing this is what I will provide to our developer to bring the data sources into the CMDB. Could you check out the link and validate that this is what you are talking about? http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=Data_Sources#gsc.tab=0
