Increase your efficiency with dynamic IT concepts
Docusnap supports you in the creation of IT concepts, such as IT emergency plans and operating manuals. The software even takes care of updating and distribution completely independently.
What is an IT concept?
The majority of documents created in the IT sector are text documents or concepts with integrated tables, graphics and diagrams (e.g. IT contingency plans and operating manuals). Special concepts are required for all certifications and standards (e.g. ISO 27001, ISO 20000) as well as process frameworks (e.g. ITIL), which also contain data from current IT documentation. IT concepts are usually created in word processing software and manually filled with the documentation data that is available at the time. This technical data is usually determined by inventory systems and stored in a configuration management database (CMDB). Manually transferring the data to IT concepts is extremely time-consuming.
- Document with prose text, tables, graphics, diagrams, etc.
- Examples: IT contingency plans, operating manuals, etc.
- Manual creation and updating very time-consuming
How does Docusnap support you?
Docusnap creates a useful basis for working on a comprehensive IT concept through regular inventorying and the provision of an ITIL CMDB. The highlight is the ability to create IT concepts in Docusnap and access the data stored in the CMDB directly. There is no need to use a word processor. The advantage of this method is that all data, diagrams, visualizations, plans and evaluations stored in Docusnap can be linked directly to the IT concept. The content is then automatically updated based on the latest inventory. Reports, plans, dynamic data lists and IT relationships can be used for integration into a Docusnap IT concept. The integration of output from other software programs is also possible.
- CMDB and IT concept creation combined in one software
- Dynamic CMDB data that is automatically updated
- No additional word processing software required
Dynamic IT concepts for efficient IT operations
IT concepts are indispensable aids in all areas of professional IT. In IT operations, documents such as operating manuals, rack documentation etc. help to fulfill daily tasks. System, network and user overviews are essential for sound IT planning and an IT contingency plan can save money in the event of a failure. It is important that these documents are up-to-date, complete and accessible at all times. What can only be done manually with a great deal of effort, Docusnap does automatically for you. The software supports you in creating the IT concepts and takes over the updating and filing completely automatically later on.
More efficiency
Manually creating and, above all, updating IT concepts is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. Docusnap relieves you of these routine tasks so that you have more time for other activities.

The network plan: The graphical representation of your IT network
The amount and complexity of data within a configuration management database (CMDB) is enormous. When inventorying IT environments, a vast amount of data must be recorded in detail for each system. Preparing or aggregating this data into clear IT documentation is an enormous task that would be extremely time-consuming and cost-intensive to solve manually. In practice, the network diagram is very often created and visualized using Microsoft Visio.
Although this is a first step in the right direction, the data must be transferred and arranged manually in Microsoft Visio. Keeping the network plan up to date in this way is also very time-consuming and labor-intensive, if not impossible.
Docusnap solves the task much more elegantly: After a comprehensive inventory of the IT environment, Docusnap offers various automated solutions that create a network plan in the shortest possible time, giving you an optimal overview of your network. With Docusnap, you always have an up-to-date network plan to hand.
