Product Features

Configuration Management

EcholoN Configuration Management offers a versatile Configuration Management Database (CMDB) designed for the administration of configuration items (CIs), encompassing their attributes, interconnections, dependencies, and lifecycle stages. Various elements such as hardware, software, applications, services, and other entities can be associated with incidents, problems, changes, contracts, and pertinent information to establish a cohesive overview of the service landscape. The visualization of relationships aids teams in comprehending dependencies, evaluating the impacts of changes, and pinpointing affected services or users. This CMDB seamlessly integrates with IT Service Management (ITSM) processes and can be customized further through configurations, APIs, and data synchronization. Built on the EcholoN Enterprise Application Framework, organizations have the flexibility to modify data models, CI frameworks, workflows, and associated applications to suit their specific configuration management needs.

The platform's compatibility with ERP, CRM, IoT, and other systems ensures a smooth flow of information. Operating on the EcholoN platform enables organizations to merge Field Service with Customer Service, IT Service Management (ITSM), asset management, and workflow automation.
