| | Configuration Management |
 | | Configuration management is the process that identifies how various IT components are linked, and how they work together within the IT environment. | | | If configuration management data is not accurate or accessible, it is difficult to optimize the deployment of IT assets, introduce changes smoothly or resolve any potential problems. | | | Yet, many of these problems are actually caused by inadequate configuration management, rather than the primary operations process in question. |

| | Configuration Management Frequently Asked Questions |
| | As binary computers and their software grew, tools began to be created to help manage the software and the changes to it. | | | While process management and control are necessary for a repeatable, optimized development process, a solid configuration management foundation for that process is essential. | | | By the mid 1980's DSEE had build management capabilities that included automatic dispatching of component builds to remote machines on the network so that a complete software subsystem could be created in parallel from a single user command without modification to the build directives (known as a model). |

| | Software Configuration Management - SCM - from AccuRev |
| | When moving from one software configuration management system to another, it is often the case that people concentrate on "Which of the pains that I have in my current SCM system will this new system alleviate?" This is certainly a valid question. | | | Unlike legacy software configuration management tools, AccuRev fuses the development process with the management of software assets, resulting in a reduction from weeks to minutes in the time needed to complete essential software development tasks. | | | AccuRev is a software configuration management (SCM) system. |

| | Configuration Management (Linktionary term) |
| | On the hardware side, configuration management provides a way to configure systems once new hardware is installed and to report this information to dependent systems. | | | In its simplest form, configuration management has to do with collecting and storing information about devices on the network (i.e., bridges, routers, workstations, servers, and other equipment). | | | It is often referred to as a practice for software development, but this topic is about network management. |
