FAQ
Yes. ITSMx handles your ITSM and CMDB; Jira Software handles your dev work. Integration between the two is possible via webhooks.
JSM's Assets (formerly Insight) is an asset register. ITSMx's CMDB has 12 typed relationship kinds, SCD Type-2 point-in-time history, and CVE/lifecycle tracking — closer to a traditional CMDB.
