The opinion of some users of CMDBuild, CMDBuild READY2USE and openMAINT.
Unione della Romagna Faentina (Italy)
We approached CMDBuild between 2016 and 2017, to replace a simple solution developed in Microsoft Access and no longer adequate for the growing complexity of management of the newly formed Union.
The open-source version of CMDBuild READY2USE has been immediately usable and we customized the existing classes by adding some accounting/management data typical of the Public Administration and very important to us.
The availability of connectors to Active Directory and VMware and a very professional Help Desk, naturally led us to sign up for the Support Service.
The flexibility of CMDBuild then allowed us to develop solutions also unrelated to the management of IT assets.
The possibility to create classes completely customized and that in any case could be connected to domains already present in the system, the management functions of the history, reporting and documents provided out-of-the-box, have allowed us to quickly create the management system of the GDPR Treatments Registry, and make it accessible to the various levels of the Institution.
At the same time, with the potential of the PostgreSQL database we have integrated some views of the financial accounting system, which is fundamental for us since we deal directly with the purchase of IT goods and services, thus exposing some information even to technical personnel who do not deal directly with the financial accounting.
The workflow engine will be particularly useful to us in the coming months, since we will have to implement some regulatory changes regarding accounting agents relating to the loading/unloading and final accounting of the IT warehouse (Corte dei Conti Emilia Romagna Region - Circular 1/2021).

Unione della Romagna Faentina (URF - Union of Romagna Faentina) was formed in 2015 and groups together 6 Municipalities in the Province of Ravenna, in the Emilia Romagna Region.
The territory has about 89,000 inhabitants and the Institution has about 500 employees.
The peculiarity of the URF is given by the fact that all the entities have conferred on the Union both their functions and their employees.
The Emilia Romagna Region counts the URF among the Advanced Unions (Territorial Reorganization Program 2021-2023).
