		<description><![CDATA[Maybe I have been asking the wrong questions. Instead of asking how will a CMDB work with commodity like infrastructures, (e.g., clouds), maybe the real question should be how do we adapt to get what we really need? Rob England (The IT Skeptic) has an interesting article on ITSM Watch called &#8220;On Demand Data and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I actually posted this question a few weeks ago on the Tivoli mailing list. Here is a clip of some of the responses from that thread. If there&#8217;s one thing that&#8217;s annoyed me the most in environments where I&#8217;ve worked, it&#8217;s been the ITIL-like processes.
