How to Implement the CA CMDB
in 6-Weeks for a Customer of
Fujitsu’s Outsourcing Business

Abstract
Martin Kästle
Fujitsu Technology Solutions
This project is an example of a CMDB project where Fujitsu in Germany as a
service provider was given an extremely short time to deliver its services to
one of its customers, a Munich based financial institution. Therefore this
CMDB project had to follow CA Technologies best practices in order to
minimize the scope of the CMDB and the initial implementation of the CMDB.
The ITIL® processes and the given infrastructure already in place still had to be
taken into account. The session will highlight how this CMDB project was
executed with a combination of CA Services and Fujitsu resources.
ITIL® is a Registered Trade Mark of the Cabinet Office
How to implement the CA CMDB in 6 weeks for a
customer of Fujitsu’s outsourcing business

Project Background
 Customer is a major outsourcing account of Fujitsu Technology Solutions
 Part of the outsourcing deal was to replace the existing ITSM applications
 The previously existing tool landscape was a combination of “homegrown” and “off the shelf” products
 Stepwise implementation of the involved processes

Project Background
 The account team started its planning with the
replacement of the call tracking application
 At the time of the application architecture planning
Fujitsu unfortunately did not have its multi-tenant
version of CA Service Desk Manager (TRIOLE for Services) in place
 Another existing (non-CA) Fujitsu application had to be chosen for Incident
Management and therefore the original planning did NOT foresee the usage
of the CA Technologies CA Configuration Management Database (CA CMDB)
 Next, the Configuration Management requirements were outlined in multiple
sessions with the customer

Implementation Preparation
 Configuration Management
 The Configuration Management requirements were outlined in multiple sessions
with the customer
 Target definition and Process design
 Continuous monitoring of all process elements
 All relevant IT Service Management Processes needed to be supported
 Agree on step-by-step approach, rather than “big bang”
 Simplification of the data maintenance by reduction of complexity
Through standardization, automation and distribution of data maintenance

Implementation Preparation
 Outline the planned CMDB data model
 Define the needed CI classes
 Dependency analysis and definition
 Define CI statuses and their process flows
 Conceptional planning of the revisioning
 Declaration of access control
 Definition of additional Libraries (i.e. define SW Library, document libraries…)
 Integration into existing tool landscape
 Definition of “leading” databases
 Planning of the rollout concept

 Adopt an iterative lifecycle approach:
 Start small – have a clear objective
 Identify one or two key services
 Work with actual users to define attributes
 Leverage existing tool information to populate
CI attributes
 Supplement with discovery
 Define role-based service views
 Synchronize data on an on going basis to

Implementation
Integration of Manged Data Repositories
 Integrated Managed Data Repositories (MDRs) allow “Launch in
Context” from the CMDB to view detailed information:
 Client Computing (based on SCCM for Clients)
 CA Client Automation (previously IT Client Manager) for Servers
 SW Licensing tool for Software Packages
 SAN/NAS for Storage
 CISCO for Network
 MDR was initially defined for the Client Computing CI’s
 Then it was also implemented for Servers - Workstation and Server information was
stored in CA Client Automation (native for Servers, from SCCM for Clients)
FTS PUBLIC

Copyright 2013 FUJITSU
Implementation
Build a service model with the CA CMDB
 Families
 Use only CA CMDB OOTB families
 Classes
 Limited number of new classes was created
 New attributes were implemented (on CI Global /Family Level)
 Mainly to store information that could not be retrieved from a MDR, or requirement for
Customer Reporting
 CA Services provided input for the model definitions (layers,
relationship types, etc.) and the impact of different configuration
choices; Fujitsu internally did the fine tuning

Critical Success Factors (1)
 Identify and involve all relevant stakeholders
 Do a proper and thorough preparation with customer
 Stick to “standards” !!!!
 Take customer requirements in standardized form only
 Define additional requirements as specific as possible
 Prioritize!
 Prio 1 – No go if not implemented
 Prio 2 – Must have
 Prio 3 – Nice to have
FTS PUBLIC

Critical Success Factors (2)
 Use an industry standard project management methodology
(Fujitsu uses Prince2) in order to
 Keep close and continuous communication between all involved parties
• Regular status calls!
 Keep eye on defined time line
 Involve “trusted” implementation team (internal or external)
 Hard book all involved resources
