Integration framework components for IT asset disposal imports

To import IT asset disposal data, Control Desk uses the integration framework, a set of applications that facilitate two-way data exchange between Control Desk and external applications in real time or batch mode.

Key features of the integration framework include predefined content to facilitate integration, a comprehensive set of outbound and inbound integration components that are available to use immediately, applications that let you define the format of data exchange, and applications that let you import data while enforcing business rules related to the objects imported.

To import asset disposal data, Control Desk uses the inbound processing features of the integration framework. You can also use the outbound processing features to export data about assets that you plan to dispose of.
