ARIS IT Inventory
Decentralized, Web-Based Management of IT Resources
Corporate business processes are underpinned by complex IT environments, and over time many of these environments become increasingly diverse and difficult to manage. Greater structure and transparency are required so that business-critical IT systems can be identified and aligned with business processes. This necessitates the creation of an enterprise architecture (EA). Planning and developing this kind of enterprise-wide IT landscape starts with an inventory of all IT assets, which subsequently needs to be maintained and updated.
ARIS IT Inventory delivers the necessary functionalities for decentralized management of IT applications. The Web-based, intuitive interface enables system administrators to quickly get up to speed with professional management of applications, technologies, and infrastructure information. High information quality is ensured by direct access to system descriptions in the central ARIS repository and simple editing using predefined EA standards. This can be used as the basis for future-proof planning and development of the organization’s IT assets.
The scalable architecture and role-based authorization and access concept make it possible to involve local application users, who can accurately describe the applications from a non-IT perspective. This also reduces the burden on IT departments.
Your benefits:
- Create an inventory of applications, technologies, and infrastructure in the central ARIS repository
- Local maintenance of IT information via easily accessible, browser-based input templates
- Minimal familiarization time thanks to intuitive user interface and easy-to-understand dialogs
- Accurate, up-to-date IT system information ensures high planning quality
- Reuse of information contained in the repository enables enforcement of standards, such as those defined using ARIS IT Architect (e.g., technology standards, architecture standards, etc.)
- Role-based authorization concept supports customized access control
- Scalable architecture enables cooperation between user groups in different locations around the world—even where highly complex IT scenarios exist
