Merging IT-Pedia Technologies With Existing Technologies of Your Repository
Your repository may contain technologies created outside of the IT-Pedia import. These technologies do not benefit from the provider data and updates supplied by the IT-Pedia connector, such as official life cycle dates, for example. To keep the data for these technologies while benefiting from IT-Pedia information, you can merge it with the IT-Pedia technologies that you import HOPEX IT Portfolio Management.
