FNT Software - Solutions for Enterprise IT
In the course of increasing digitization, IT infrastructures are not only becoming more extensive, but also more hybrid. It’s becoming more common for cloud services to complement traditional on-premises infrastructure in the company's own data center, which further increases complexity. At the same time, internal and external customers expect ever faster delivery of digital services. In this challenging environment, IT organizations are faced with the task of operating the IT and network infrastructure as efficiently as possible and providing the required services as quickly as possible - key to keeping customers satisfied.
These challenges can most easily be met with a complete overview of the IT and network infrastructure. Only then are IT organizations in a position to plan infrastructure changes or expansions sensibly, manage the infrastructure efficiently, and increase customer satisfaction through better service delivery.

Why Professional IT Documentation Pays Dividends
Why is it worth engaging with “professional IT documentation”? What is it, and how does it differ from other types? If you have ever asked yourself these questions, you’re in the right place. In this white paper, we show how taking a professional approach to IT documentation allows you to lay the foundation for efficient infrastructure operations. One key advantage is transparency: good documentation can help infrastructure managers to immediately see what is where and how it all fits together. This reduces the risk of sudden outages and reduces vulnerability to cyber attacks. In turn, budget managers value the fact that they always have details of individual inventory items at their fingertips, which means they only buy what is actually needed.

How to Save Money and Improve Corporate Sustainability with Effective Infrastructure Management
Businesses concerned about sustainability are taking stock of their current business practices, identifying areas to target for improvement, and formulating plans for corrective action. The IT infrastructure is a great place to start. There is a surprising amount of hidden waste and inefficiencies that can be addressed with little to no investment. This paper is an enlightening look at how businesses can use infrastructure management to reduce energy consumption, which has the dual benefit of lowering costs and minimizing the impact they are having on the environment.

A case study of real-world IT documentation solutions
High-performance IT and telecommunications infrastructures are fundamental to achieving business goals. To ensure successful and efficient infrastructure operation, managers need to optimize processes and staffing, reduce running costs, and minimize risks. Specialist solutions for documenting and managing infrastructures, such as the FNT Command Platform, can help with these objectives.
To quantify the productivity increases and cost savings achieved through deploying the FNT software solution, Research In Action investigated the effectiveness of the solution and the return on investment (ROI).
The findings are based on a survey of a total of 28 companies: three companies already using FNT Command and 25 other large companies with similar IT organizations.

How public bodies can better manage their IT infrastructure
When it comes to implementing digitization strategies, the numerous institutions at the federal, state and local levels have very different homework to do. They all have one thing in common: In order to master the many new challenges, the first thing to do is to make the IT infrastructure that has grown over many years fit for the digital future. In many cases, this means first of all creating a complete overview and transparency, which then enables meaningful planning.
White Paper
Worst Practices from the real world of IT Infrastructure Management
IT managers were surprised just how much power the air conditioning system was using – shortly afterwards, the data center was on fire; a server rack ran for years without a network connection and the IT documentation consisted of needles and thread. Those aren’t horror stories from a movie script, they actually happened. Usually, managers believe that their IT systems are all in great shape: properly documented, secure, and up to date.
What’s the situation like in your organization? Everything under control? Just read on! We’ve put together some unbelievable, amusing, and instructional case studies that we’ve been “fortunate” enough to encounter ourselves. We didn’t have to look too hard. At the end of the day, there isn’t a single company where we’ve not found inconsistencies, errors, or incomplete documentation of IT systems. Dodgy redundancy configurations, Excel tables with incorrect content, and dead cables lie in wait for the unwary.
These case studies show that IT documentation isn’t an end in itself; it is often crucial when dealing with faults and outages. It protects companies from unnecessary investment caused by a lack of insight and also helps to avoid the kind of emergencies that can quickly spiral into an existential crisis.

Success Story
Stuttgart Airport and the living IT infrastructure
Stuttgart Airport is one of the largest airports in Germany. Thanks to its connection to Stuttgart 21, long-distance rail and bus services and the subway, it is increasingly developing into an intermodal hub for travelers. In addition to its core aviation business, Flughafen Stuttgart GmbH operates numerous infrastructure facilities and supplies over 250 B2B corporate customers with electricity, water and information and communication technology, which accounts for around 40 percent of total revenue. For both business areas - aviation and infrastructure facilities - the airport has to operate, maintain, modernize and expand a highly complex network of diverse and sometimes highly critical infrastructures.
