Business mapping integration with Studio or via spreadsheet import

For multiple client we face the issue that:
- updating business mappings through the UI is to cumbersome 
- Multiple business mappings usually are linked to one or two primary keys (like account ID & resource group)
- Business mapping data based on these primairy keys is maintaned in a data source sitting outside of Cloudability (.e.g a MS spreadsheet)
- We now use custom build API scripts to create the statements from this spreadsheet and delete/insert/update the business mapping statements.

The requested functionality that allows us to:
- create and maintain business mapping statement based on a spreadsheet with one or more primairy keys (basically to replace what we currently doing with a script) 
- if possible have this integrated with Apptio Studio, we can maintain the data in studio and then push the data for instance use Automated Data Management to Cloudability
- or have structured way of maintaining data mappings based on one or more primairy keys which is easy to maintain in Cloudability (the master data for the business mappings then will be maintained in Cloudability).

    I want to second Guido's request for Integration of TBM Studio with Cloudability, for pushing data based business mappings to Cloudability.
    Larger clients use several of our products (not only Cloudability) but for example also Costing with TBM Studio that haves a native integration for several data sources, including ServiceNow that can hold both Application and Service registers.
    These may very often be pushed to Cloudability to be used in a similar way as normal IBM Apptio Costing perspectives for services, products, applications, workloads, cost centers, business units and other meta data for reporting and control usage in Cloudability.
    Instead of using the ServiceNow CMDB connector in Cloudability (that needs a push from ServiceNow) we need to also have the option to import business mappings from a "published table" in Studio, that already has and can manage much more ServiceNow related information.
    Maybe using ADM as the basis for data management, or some other connector in Cloudability that can used the API for a published table to retrieve information.
