The functional range of Docusnap 6.0 enables its use in many industries. Beside the primary target group of IT administrators or IT security specialists, automated IT documentation with license management also presents a basis of decision making for commercial areas such as Administration and Controlling. Last, but not least, an IT-based documentation is a huge step towards a paperless office. The following lists application possibilities in the respective branches.
- IT Administration
Using Docusnap 6.0 IT-administrators can conveniently create network documentations without a huge effort. In shortest time, the automated physical inventory and documentation of the IT environment generate meaningful reports for troubleshooting or configurations to be implemented. The optional modules extend scope and flexibility even further and manual interventions can be replaced by automatisms using the Docusnap server.
- IT Management
Automated physical inventory and documentation represent a basis of decision making regarding new or existing hardware and software in the IT environment. The use of Visio plans creates clarity; lists and reports about inventoried systems provide detailed information in a structured framework.
- IT Security
Effective authorizations for inventoried systems are determined based on NTFS and release/sharing rights using the "Rights Analysis" module. By filtering on specific Active Directory user (groups) an administrator can quickly identify, where the user has access or not.
It's possible to have a look at the situation from a sharing/file system's point of view as well to get an overview, which users actually have permissions on different network resources.
- IT Services, Consultation, System houses
Docusnap 6.0 enables IT service providers to use automated documentation for all clients using only one additional license component, the MULTI license. Data management takes place in a central database, from which client-specific information can be queried or entered. Docusnap 6.0 flexible approach enables the use of specific client data tailored to the respective consultant or consultant group.
- Administration
Docusnap 6.0 does not only serve technical decision makers. Its "license management" module appeals to controlling and administration as well. On the one hand, license comparison is used as basis of decision making in the purchase of new software licenses. On the other hand, it provides overview and alleviation in upcoming audits and revisions. The integrated contract management, available also outside of licensing, enabling filing of attachments such as purchasing or leasing contracts, is a further advantage.
