System manuals maintained centrally and up to date

How do system manuals remain centralized and up-to-date at all times?

System manuals are scattered across many organizations and quickly become outdated. Changes to systems or in operation are not consistently updated, which leads to uncertainties in day-to-day operations and during audits.
i-doit enables the central creation and maintenance of system manuals. These are directly linked to servers, applications, services or infrastructure elements. Technical descriptions, operational information and dependencies remain up-to-date and consistently available at all times.

Advantages:

  • Central and standardized system documentation
  • Always up to date without distributed files
  • Clear assignment to systems and services
  • Quicker orientation for operations, representatives and service providers
  • Reliable basis for audits and emergency management

Emergency management with emergency and system manuals

How does i-doit support structured emergency management?

In an emergency, every minute counts. If emergency and system manuals are not up to date or are difficult to find, the response is delayed and risks increase.
With i-doit, emergency and system manuals are created and maintained centrally and linked directly to systems, services, locations and responsibilities. Content can be dynamically transferred from the existing documentation so that manuals are automatically kept up to date and are immediately available in the event of an emergency.

Advantages:

  • Always up-to-date emergency and system manuals
  • Less manual maintenance work thanks to dynamic content
  • Immediate access to all relevant information in an emergency
  • Clear instructions and responsibilities
  • Reliable basis for emergency tests, audits and compliance

Responsible persons and contact persons clearly defined

How are those responsible and contact persons clearly assigned?

Unclear responsibilities and scattered contact information make it difficult to make decisions in day-to-day operations and delay reactions in the event of a malfunction or emergency.
i-doit stores responsibilities, roles, deputies and escalation contacts centrally and clearly for systems and services. This means that it is always clear who is responsible in functional, technical or organizational terms - even in the event of absences or staff changes.

Advantages:

  • Clear responsibilities without gray areas
  • Quick access to relevant contact persons
  • Less coordination effort in the event of a fault
  • Reliable escalation in critical situations
  • Reliable basis for emergency management and audits

Linking contracts and service providers with assets

How can contracts and service providers be linked directly to assets?

Without a clear assignment of contracts and service providers to systems, there is no overview during operation or in an emergency. Important information on terms, service levels or contact persons must first be gathered.
i-doit links contracts, service agreements and external service providers directly to the associated systems and services. All relevant contract details are stored centrally and can be accessed immediately - for smooth operation and efficient collaboration with external partners.

Advantages:

  • Clear assignment of contracts to systems and services
  • Quick access to contact persons and contract details
  • Fewer delays in the event of a malfunction or emergency
  • Better control over runtimes and service levels
  • Reliable basis for audits and service provider management
