Conclusion
In the past, you were limited in your efforts to manage inventory companywide. You could only
manage software and hardware inventories at the local CMS for systems it managed. Configuring a
Federated CMS solves this problem by enabling searches across multiple CMSes from a main CMS.
Setting up a Federated CMS in any environment with distributed CMSes is easy and secure.
