The Provance Data Managment Pack adds simple, fast and accurate data import to Microsoft System Center Service Manager to ensure your IT Service Management and IT Asset Management programs are optimally supported.
The Provance Data Management Pack eliminates the need to code XML format files to import your data from CSV files. You simply use forms and wizards to browse the Configuration Items classes and objects in the Service Manager CMDB and select the destinations for each column sourced from your import file or database. You no longer have to worry about identifying the right XML values for projection types, classes or property IDs, properly structuring your XML or making sure you order your XML tags in precisely the same sequence that the values appear in your file. Furthermore, you see every data element in your CMDB, including customizations you've made using the Service Manager Authoring Tool or extensions by third party management packs. The Provance Data Management Pack eliminates guesswork and the need for accurate reference documentation to fully understand the schema and structure of your CMDB.
The Provance Data Management Pack makes it possible for you to add only new data or make partial updates to existing data based on conditions you specify. For example, you can change the assignment of all Incidents from one analyst to another without changing any other information. The ability to import data in one pass while maintaining all relationships and avoiding data duplication eliminates the need to break up CSV files, import your files in the correct order and look up and insert Property IDs from the CMDB between imports.
