Updating is done quickly, information from asset management tools can be integrated into the IDR Manager via data import using the csv or xml format. This enables users to quickly gain an overview over the entire IT infrastructure; which is essential during a disaster.
Security is key; therefore, access rights in the database ensures that only authorized employees can change the DR information in the software. These access rights are defined by the responsible DR manager, entered into the database and can only be changed and deleted by the DR manager. This ensures that all employees working in the disaster recovery process have access to the relevant information according to their assigned tasks.
Reporting and auditing compliance: reports can be generated to include time stamps which can be used as documentation for compliance or audit purposes. Thus, IDR Manager allows not only a fast and automated change management, but also the chance to create reports to comply with audit processes. Reports can be customized based on specific IT Service, applications or systems.
