Hi,
I hold a CSA and CIS-ITSM certification, and I received an email regarding the CIS Data Foundations (CMDB and CSDM). It appears this is a new certification that must be completed. Can someone confirm if this is true? Also, if I go to now learning, I don't see any designated course or training, unlike the other certification exams. Can someone share the exact link to the training course?
Thanks

It's true and it's a load of hooey for those who took the CIS - ITSM for basic exposure and understanding. Many of us don't need to know the nuts and bolts of the CMBD, so for us, it's nothing more than an unnecessary and added workload and more money for ServiceNow. I love ServiceNow but find this recent news quite unfair and upsetting. I am stunned that ServiceNow would threaten to take away a person's earned certification if not completed.
