Growing businesses and established enterprises are sometimes the most vulnerable types of companies, due largely to their visibility. This means administrators must take special care to ensure that the company's assets and data are secure, but also accessible. That's where Tecnoteca's CMDBuild comes in, which is designed to provide a streamlined database management environment with special features to ensure that productivity remains unaffected by data migration and advanced security protocols. CMDBuild is open source technology that relies on some of the more advanced open source plug-ins available. Most of their customers are Italian companies, but they cater to the entire world. Since the installation of CMDBuild can be daunting, the company offers a suite of "READY2USE" packages that are preconfigured for various business types. Other customers might have to engage with Tecnoteca to complete their installation, and the company offers nearly 100 hours of training sessions online. After that, there are support packages available for either a subscription fee or as a pay-as-you-go option. After any training, the company offers a final examination to establish that the customer is certified in the CMDBuild software.
