Copy & paste is not just a time killer, but also a common source of errors, i.e. when copying old data from the cache into the wrong field. Additionally, this dull, repetitive work might kill your team members’ motivation. The solution lies in automation. In our blog article about the OTRS CMDB connector, we’ve chosen an order process as an example to walk you through the necessary settings to automatically write configuration items into the CMDB at the end of the process. This particular function saves you manual entries and is just one of many examples showing how to use this helpful connector.
