Background


The IT Adviser That Set The Standard

Following the successful implementation of a revolutionary ITSM environment, Carlos’s work as an IT adviser began after he published The CMDB Imperative: How to Realize the Dream and Avoid the Nightmares, in 2009. Since its release, Carlos’s book still remains a vital resource for organizations across the globe seeking to initiate governance driven digital transformations. The book has become a standard tool for Service Asset and Configuration Management (SACM) and the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) .

Following the success of his book, Carlos began to see the value and insights he offered as a very similar role to that of a sherpa - He had been to the top of the mountain, and he wanted to help other organizations safely reach the summit too. Carlos also became fascinated by K2 Mountain. With about three times the fatality rate of Mt. Everest, and only one tenth the amount of successful climbs, K2 Mountain can only be ascended as a team. Carlos noticed numerous similarities between reaching the summit of K2 and reaching the peak of Configuration Management. Thus, he created K2 Solutions Group, Inc., aptly named after K2 Mountain, also known as Savage Mountain or The King Of Mountains.

Today, Carlos has received countless accolades for his work and has traveled the globe speaking and transferring knowledge as a thought leader on all things IT, leadership, and business. K2 Solutions Group, Inc. is now known as Casanova Advisory Services.
