#Common Services Data Model (CSDM)is aServiceNow best-practice frameworkthatstandardizes how IT services, applications, and infrastructure are structured in the CMDB. It provides ablueprintfor aligning ServiceNow configurations with business and IT operations.
Why CSDM is Important:
Ensures consistency inIT service mapping and asset relationships.
Helps organizationsalign CMDB datawith ITSM, ITOM, and other ServiceNow applications.
Providesdata governance and best practicesto maintain data integrity.
Option B (CMDB)is incorrect because theCMDB is the database that stores configuration items (CIs), but CSDM defines the model for structuring it.
Option C (ITSM)is incorrect because ITSM includes processes like Incident, Problem, and Change Management, but does not provide adata modelblueprint.
Option D (ServiceNow Wiki)is incorrect because ServiceNow no longer uses a wiki for documentation (it has been replaced by theServiceNow Docs Portal).
