As IT systems become ever more complex and mission-critical, IT professionals must focus more and more on the discipline of Configuration Management (CM). By implementing CM best practices, IT organizations can systematically manage change, avoiding unexpected or unwanted problems introduced by changes to hardware, software, or networks. While increasingly popular frameworks such as ITIL offer guidance on CM, they can be very difficult to understand and implement. Moreover, few IT practitioners have the knowledge they need to succeed with CM, whether they use formal frameworks or not.
