When IT documentation and process management become one
Thomas is an IT manager in a company with a complex system landscape. The departments work with Aeneis - the process-oriented platform for controlling risks, information security, business continuity and audits.
There, Aeneis forms the basis for an integrated management system as digital twin of the organization. Processes, responsibilities and business-critical assets are centrally documented and controllable in Aeneis.
In IT, on the other hand, Thomas uses i-doit, the specialized solution for IT documentation and CMDB, developed by Synetics GmbH. With its powerful add-ons, i-doit offers everything that is necessary for structured IT management: IT assets, servers, networks, licenses, applications and contracts - completely recorded, visualized and immediately accessible.
Two systems — one interface with great benefits
What was missing so far was the connection between the process-oriented view in Aeneis and the level of technical detail in i-doit. It is precisely this gap that the new interface developed by SHD, premium partner and development partner of i-doit, offers.
The interface synchronizes the most important process references from Aeneis directly into i-doit. In this way, IT not only sees which assets are available, but also what they are being used for in the company.
At the same time, details such as device specifications, software versions or network connections remain where they belong: in i-doit's specialized IT documentation.
Aeneis: Your company's digital twin
As a BPM and GRC platform, Aeneis offers a central view of all processes, risks, measures and assets — compliant, documented, analyzable. The integrated ISMS app makes it possible to link IT systems with risks, responsibilities and protective measures, in a process-oriented and holistic way.
For many companies, Aeneis is the place where all the threads come together, from process modeling to audit management to emergency planning.
With the SHD interface, Aeneis benefits from detailed data from i-doit without having to maintain it twice. In this way, Aeneis remains the platform for all specialist areas, while IT remains in its proven environment.
i-doit: More than IT asset management
i-doit is a platform solution for integrated IT service management, efficient documentation and seamless inventory. Whether on-premise or in the cloud, i-doit provides answers to typical IT questions with just one click:
- Which servers run at which location?
- Which software is installed on which device?
- Which licenses are available and where are they used?
- Which applications depend on which process?
With powerful add-ons, i-doit automatically creates relationship diagrams, operating manuals or reports for audits. The platform is flexibly expandable and can be connected to many other tools via open interfaces.
Your benefits at a glance
- Synchronization without additional effort: The most important process references from Aeneis automatically appear in the right place in i-doit.
- Departments and IT work on the same basis: Aeneis and i-doit access linked, up-to-date data without system breaks.
- No double data maintenance: Information stays where it belongs, in Aeneis for management, in i-doit for IT.
- Ideal basis for ISMS, BCM, audits and risk management: Processes, assets and systems can be consistently analyzed and verified.
- Quick overview, deep insight: i-doit provides technical depth, Aeneis provides organizational context.
Practical example: From theory to application
A support case in the company: An employee reports that their laptop is no longer working. Thanks to the SHD interface, IT can immediately see in i-doit:
- Which device is affected
- Which software is installed
- Which license is used
- And: for which process the device is used
In the case of certifications or audits in turn, departments can track all relevant IT assets via Aeneis, based on the automatically maintained information from i-doit.
Conclusion: Aeneis combines the best of two worlds
Aeneis remains your company's digital twin, with all relevant GRC features. i-doit supplements this twin with a CMDB, which is specifically designed for IT departments.
With the interface of SHD the result is an overall system that intelligently connects the corporate and IT worlds. For more transparency, less effort and better control.
