CI/Component States (Status Values) represent the
progression of the CI/Component through its lifecycle.
All state transitions are permitted for Configuration Items.
19
Copyright © 2007, BMC Software, Inc
Configuration Item and
Component Lifecycles
Each Status Value can have associated Status Reasons to
further describe the actual state of the CI/Component.

Availability Measurements
Critical Success Factors (CSFs) measure the effectiveness of
the Availability Management Process, for example:
 Quality of IT Services is maintained
 Impact of unavailability is minimized
 IT and business productivity improves
 User satisfaction is maintained
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are individual goals that are
measured to ensure that the CSFs are met, for example:
 Percentage reduction in Mean Time To Repair
 Increase in Mean Time Between Failures and Mean Time
Between System Incidents
 Increased availability (% of time available)
36
Copyright © 2007, BMC Software, Inc
Integration Requirements

or auditing the CMDB
For any required integrations, define:
 Data to be transferred
 Mechanism of data transfer
 Direction of data transfer
 Frequency of data transfer
 Exception handling

Fields added for:
 Customer structure: Company -> Organization -> Department
 Contract Support Group: Support Company->Support

40
Copyright © 2007, BMC Software, Inc
Support Contracts
A support contract keeps track of contracts you might
purchase for support of a product.
 You can have a support contract that gives you access to
customer support for any problems or questions you have about
the scanner.
You can create a master support contract that shows the
general terms and parameters, with subcontracts for specific
items.
 You can have a software contract with a company, and you can
have subcontracts for support of each software product you
purchase.
42
Copyright © 2007, BMC Software, Inc
Warranty Contracts
Use a warranty contract to track a guarantee of a piece of
equipment against mechanical imperfections and defects.
 For example, if you buy a scanner, a warranty contract replaces
any defective parts for the scanner, for a defined period.
 When you purchase a piece of equipment, it might come with a
warranty contract, or you might purchase an additional or
extended warranty.
43
Copyright © 2007, BMC Software, Inc
Lease Contracts
Use a lease contract to track details associated with leasing
equipment.
 For example, if you lease several servers from one company, you
might have a master lease contract that shows the general terms
and conditions, and subcontracts for each server.
44
Copyright © 2007, BMC Software, Inc
Maintenance Contracts
Use a maintenance contract to provide routine maintenance by
a vendor.
 For example, when you purchase a network printer, it might come
with a maintenance contract.
 Or, you might decide to purchase an additional or extended
maintenance contract for a piece of equipment.
45
Copyright © 2007, BMC Software, Inc
Software License
Management
Software License Management keeps track of what software a
company has and whether it has the legal right to use it
 Organizations that are not compliant face possible legal charges
and maintenance charges.
 Example: companies acquire other companies, and the software
licenses from those companies are not accounted for.
46
Copyright © 2007, BMC Software, Inc
Setting Up Software
License Management
Software license compliance can automatically track usage
with a combination of PDEs and Software Contracts
 When a CI is created that matches the exact six-tier product and
class categorization of the product dictionary entry that is related
to the contract, the contract will be automatically related to the
CI.

Product Dictionary &
Definitive Software Library
(DSL)
The DSL is a central repository of approved product dictionary entries
(PDEs) used for application recognition
 PDEs are the definitive or master names and descriptions of
software applications
 Any BMC application can use the DSL to identify a single name
for a software application and its versions, which in turn
supports software license compliance.
 Includes over 10,000 applications (Windows only in this version)
 Used by Marimba, ITSM & can be used for 3rd party tools
» Marimba & ITDS – SW normalization
» ITSM – pre-populate product categorizations OOTB
 By default, each PDE in the DSL has an accompanying model and
version form that contains the option “Requires Contract.”
» This option is used by the software license management engine to
determine if the existing PDE must have a related software license contract.
50
Copyright © 2007, BMC Software, Inc
Asset Management & the
Product Dictionary
The Product Catalog is the “master” view
 The Product Dictionary and DSL provide additional details
 The Product Dictionary is a component of the DSL
The Product Dictionary is used to pre-populate product
categorizations with “best practices” data for software titles
 Normalizes the ITSM data with the Product Dictionary info used
by IT Discovery Suite
 Next releases will follow this model for hardware information to
create an “ITIL-inspired” Definitive Hardware Store
51
Copyright © 2007, BMC Software, Inc
Product Dictionary (PD)

Financial Management
Overview
Total Cost of Ownership - Concepts
Cost types
 Purchase, maintenance, tax, other
 Depreciation
Charge-backs
55
Copyright © 2007, BMC Software, Inc
Financials - General
Total cost of ownership
 Per Gartner Group, the purchase cost of an IT asset represents
approximately 30% of the total cost of owning an asset
 TCO is a concept introduced to track these additional costs
Multi-currency support
 Ability to input costs in multiple currencies
 Configure the “functional” currencies available for conversion (for
reporting, etc.)
56
Copyright © 2007, BMC Software, Inc
Sources for Cost Entries
57
Copyright © 2007, BMC Software, Inc
Costs - General
Cost Types
 Input available throughout the app
» PR, main asset forms, contracts, change requests (incident &
problem costs coming in Skyline/Wailea)
 Cost types
» Examples are purchase price, sales tax, maintenance,
repairs, lease, training, depreciation, etc.
» Customer may define additional cost types
Depreciation
 Accounting method to allocate an asset’s cost basis over its useful
life
 Configuration option (asset type, location, site, etc.) to
automatically associate a depreciation methodology and useful
live to assets in the same class
 Depreciation methodologies supported
» Straight-line, Declining balance (150 & 200%), sum-of-theyears digits
58

Cost Management
Framework & Charge-backs
Cost Management Framework
 We do TCO, however, those silly accountants want to attribute
costs to time periods as well as assets over their life
 Wanted to create an underlying structure that would support
“accounting-type” processes & reporting geared to the CIO & LOB
Cost Manager Role in your customers’ organizations? What
department? (IT, Finance, Biz Relationship Mgr.)

Reports
Five Charge-back reports (Crystal Reports)
 Charge-back Invoice
» Provides a detailed list of charges for the cost centers or business units.
 Charge-back Summary
» Provides the total costs of the charges made to cost centers. It shows three
types of total costs - Total Direct Cost, Allocation To and Allocation From.
 Cost Incurred by Source
» This report is similar to Charge-back Summary Report except the charge-back
percentage is not added to charge.
 Unallocated Reports
» Provides of the list of charge-back entries that falls under the default cost center.
 Adjustment Reports
» Shows the adjustments made.

What is BMC Foundation
Discovery?
Foundation Discovery
 First Cut – “What do I have?”
 “How can I monitor what is deployed?”
Agent-less device discovery/inventory
 Detailed hardware attribute discovery
 Software inventory based on registry information
 Network device discovery
An agentless discovery solution that is easy to
install/easy to use, FD polls the network
using IP address ranges and a “ping
sweep”/scan of used ports, returning
detailed hardware and software information
found in the Registry, NETBIOS, Secure
Shell, and WMI stores of connected devices.
It also returns data, via SNMP, on the
switches, routers, and hubs existing in the
network.
Enable IT managers and network
administrators to quickly determine hardware
FD discovers devices across all platforms,
and software inventory positions
Reduce TCO of network elements
 Reduce end-user support costs by providing help desk
personnel with details that enable them to remotely
troubleshoot and correct problems
 Provide asset managers with auto-discovery of
everything connected to the network
returning data to the BMC Configuration
Management Database (CMDB) so other
Service Management processes can be
supported as well, i.e., Asset Management &
Change Management, as well as broader
service management initiatives such as
Change and Configuration Management and
Business Service Management.
