Efficient IT management for public institutions
Docusnap offers public institutions an efficient solution for IT inventory, documentation and analysis. Optimize your processes, maintain an overview of your IT infrastructure and increase your IT security.
Legal requirements
Compliance with legal requirements is of the utmost importance for public institutions. These laws and standards ensure that the processing of personal data and IT security are handled according to strict guidelines. Docusnap facilitates compliance with these legal requirements through comprehensive functions.
This European regulation is particularly important when personal data is processed. Public institutions must ensure that comprehensive documentation is available on the use and security of this data. Docusnap supports you in this and documents where and how personal data is stored and processed, making it easier to comply with the GDPR.
Security standards such as the BSI basic protection define detailed requirements for the security of IT systems. Docusnap supports compliance with the standards, enables automated documentation of the IT infrastructure, helps to uncover security gaps, identify risks and standardize and optimize risk management processes. The software solution ensures the security of IT systems and improves the efficiency and transparency of IT processes.
These information security management standards require a systematic examination of IT risks, including security precautions. Docusnap can support compliance with these standards by automatically inventorying, documenting and analyzing the IT environment, by documenting and monitoring necessary security controls and procedures.
The law promotes electronic administration and digital access to public services. It also sets security standards for information provided electronically. Docusnap supports public institutions in meeting these standards by providing centralized documentation of the IT infrastructure. This contributes to the transparency and efficiency of administrative processes and promotes security compliance. The software also helps to set up secure and digital communication channels in accordance with the E-Government Act.

Nowadays, public institutions need to be better prepared than ever before for various potential emergencies, including data loss, system failures, cyberattacks and natural disasters such as floods and fires. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as 100% security against such events.

FAQs
Docusnap must always be licensed for your entire network - consisting of all Windows, Linux, HP-UX and macOS systems as well as thin clients. Switches, routers, printers and mobile devices are excluded! You can find our licence calculator here.
You only need to license content that is managed in Docusnap365. All objects (e.g. notebooks, monitors, user accounts, etc.) that are inventoried or created within Docusnap365 are subject to licensing.
Ein Netzwerkplan ist ein detailliertes Diagramm, das die Struktur und das Design eines Computernetzwerks grafisch abbildet. Es umfasst die physische und logische Anordnung der Netzwerkkomponenten wie Router, Switches, Server, Computer und andere Geräte. Der Plan zeigt, wie diese Komponenten miteinander verbunden sind und wie Daten durch das Netzwerk fließen.
For short-term projects, we recommend the subscription model. In the long term, the purchase model is cheaper, but the initial costs are higher. Purchase licenses must also be activated in the accounting system and cannot be claimed as 100% expense immediately.
Objects are, for example, hardware elements such as monitors, printers, but also Windows systems, user accounts and IT services. For a detailed definition of objects that require a license, please see this page.
Ein Netzwerkplan sollte alle Systeme und Komponenten enthalten, die zusammenarbeiten, um ein funktionierendes Netzwerk bereitzustellen. Dazu gehören typischerweise Router, Switches, Server, Firewalls und Endgeräte, wie Computer, Laptops oder Smartphones.
With an active service contract, you receive all updates to current versions and features. For an inventory software, a service contract is essential, as otherwise no patches and updates required for the continued functionality of Docusnap can be obtained in the event of changes by manufacturers to their products.
You can see how many objects you have used in your demo environment. We estimate that about 15 objects are needed per workstation. The number of objects can be increased or reordered at any time without a price disadvantage.
Ein Netzwerkplan hilft bei der Planung, Implementierung, Verwaltung und Optimierung eines Netzwerks, indem er sicherstellt, dass alle Komponenten effizient zusammenarbeiten und die Anforderungen des Unternehmens erfüllen. Er kann auch Auskunft über Sicherheitsaspekte, IP-Adressierung, Netzwerkprotokolle und andere technische Details geben.
No, a service contract must always be purchased for at least 1 year when purchasing new. We recommend a 3-year contract, which is cheaper in terms of the total term.

Even if you are not looking for a partnership, you can still sell Docusnap to your customers as a reseller. We would also ask you to contact our sales department info@docusnap.com in this case.
We prefer payment based on Euro, but also offer invoicing in US dollars. Please note that the currency cannot be changed after a contract has been concluded.
Of course, there are also licenses with a license size of well over 5,000. In this case, we would ask you to contact our sales department.
The license size can be increased at any time without a price disadvantage. You only pay the price difference between the old and new license. Reducing a license size works after the end of the period without restrictions in the subscription contract model. A purchase license can also be reduced at the end of the service contract term. The reduction only affects future service contract extensions.
