A key challenge with loading CI and relationship data is installing and configuring the out of the box BMC tools. While this is best practice for managing very large volumes of CI data, quickly performing an initial load or a subset of data from a legacy system is challenging and time-consuming. This challenge is heightened if the project calls for loading non-discoverable relationship data. Transport for CMDB addresses these data challenges by offering a simple and straight-forward mechanism to load the most common CI and relationship data into the CMDB.
