Lansweeper scans your network, cloud tenants and endpoints and maintains a normalised inventory: devices, installed software, users, warranties, IP addresses and network topology. Through the native HaloITSM–Lansweeper integration, that inventory is synchronised into HaloITSM asset and configuration item records on a schedule you control. We configure the synchronisation so that new assets are created, existing ones updated and retired ones flagged rather than deleted. No manual import, no spreadsheet.
The integration itself is a connector. What makes it useful is the model around it: which asset types become which CI classes, which source wins when Intune or a purchasing tool also describes the same laptop, which relationships must exist for impact analysis to work, and who reviews data quality after go-live. That is what SMC Consulting designs and configures.

Only the fields you map leave Lansweeper: hardware model and serial number, installed software and versions, warranty and purchase dates, last logged-on user, IP address and location. Sensitive fields stay out of the CMDB unless you decide otherwise. The mapping is documented and versioned, so adding a CI class or a new site later is a controlled change, not a surprise.
Governance decides whether the integration still works a year later. We name an owner for each CI class, agree how often coverage and freshness are reviewed, and define what happens when a device disappears from the scan: flagged for review, not silently deleted. The mapping table and the reconciliation rules are versioned documents, so adding a site, a CI class or a second discovery source is a controlled change with a rollback path. Where several teams maintain the same data, we set out who may edit which attribute in HaloITSM and which fields are read-only because Lansweeper owns them. That division of labour is what keeps the CMDB trustworthy once the project team has moved on.
