The Asset Management of enterprise systems is a complex problem, regardless of the application domain.
Each company / institution has its own organization and peculiarities, which have to be recognized by the management software.
CMDBuild, understood as "engine" where the desired application solution is configured, allows you to adapt the software to the way of working and not viceversa.
Also it allows you to do that without changing the code of the software application, that would prevent from any possibility of doing the update for the next versions.
How does all this happen ?
It happens by separating the "engine" from the "business logic", i.e. encapsulating the peculiarities of the information entities and of the processes inside a data model that can be configured from a user interface and inside XML indicators related to your processes and reports.
Configurability and flexibility were pursued as main project standard, allowing the system administrator to define the optimal application for his/her operative needs.
A system based on the configurability has its clear advantages:
- it can adapt to your organization and work procedures
- possibility of a gradual carrying out of the system, reducing the organizational impact
- easy response to organizational and technological editing
- more independence for users
- same “core” code (managed “per product”) used in different vertical solutions
