FireScope Delivers Industry's First CMDB iPad App

The FireScope CMDB app for iPad lets you manage IT changes from anywhere!

The FireScope iPad App interfaces with the FireScope Configuration Management Database (CMDB). This gives you instant access to IT Service configuration knowledge and achieve structured, predictable change from an iPad.

With FireScopes iPad App you can view reports or approve Requests for Change(RFC's) from an Apple iPad. You can browse your CMDB from anywhere- forget being tied to your laptop or PC. Here is one example: You have an urgent incident and you need to begin troubleshooting. You arrive at the datacenter late at night. No worries - you can walk around the datacenter using the iPad drilling down through dependencies, supplied from the CMDB. This allows you to quickly find critical information you need to resolve the incident rapidly.

Common tasks you can perform with the CMDB iPad app include:
• Quickly inspect IT service dependencies
• View and approve Requests for Change (RFCs) remotely
• Perform impact analysis on prospective change
• Review configuration of critical assets
• Access all of your CMDB reports
• No additional software to install on the server, or additional configuration.

In addition to the iPad, FireScope has a solid mobile strategy. They have apps for the Apple iPhone 3GS, 3G and iPod Touch. And for Android phones they support Nexus One, HTC Hero, HTC Magic, Motorola Droid and more. I have a Droid HTC Hero and I downloaded it today-its Free! It installed without a hitch. I will see if I can hit a demo site to test it out!

The iPad application will be available for download via iTunes, pending final approval from Apple. Watch for the release!
