Overview
Digital ecosystems are dependent on reliable and consistent business data. Correctly defined and up-to-date data is required in all daily operational activities, such as auto assignments, root cause & impact analysis, service automation, approvals and reporting.
With DCM you are able to manage your entire data management process seamlessly and end-to-end in one ServiceNow certified application. It reduces the amount of work needed for service data management and improves the communication between the various stakeholders in the service production value chain.
