GAP analysis nZoKB with Zoty support

Compliance with the requirements of the new Cyber Security Act (in Czech: nZoKB) can be ensured not only with the help of external experts, but also with the support of the Zoty tool, which we now provide free of charge for these projects. Is there a catch? The only limitation is time. Simply tell us how long your GAP analysis will take, and we will provide you with full Zoty licenses completely free of charge for at least that period. You will also be able to test the Zoty tool in practice and decide whether to purchase it to support your newly established ISMS in compliance with the nZoKB.

New ARIS owner changes product strategy

The Software AG group, after it had been acquired by an US private equity group Silver Lake in May 2023, started the new year with a slew of strategic changes, announcing the relaunch of ARIS products and few other ones as standalone businesses. Each led by their own management teams. ARIS development and support is now provided by SAG Aris GmbH. So, while the owners are changing, many of the key people behind the product remain. Nothing new in a long ARIS history.

New integration with Microsoft Teams in ARIS

New ARIS 10 SR 18 allows you to integrate ARIS processes directly into Microsoft Teams. Why do we find it interesting and important?

We live in a world of disruption. Global threats are radically changing the business of many companies across industries. They are then forced to significantly transform their existing business processes in order to simply survive. The external pressure for permanent change is as high as never before.

ARIS can help you significantly in transformation projects where business processes and associated resources are changing. However, people are always the key. That's why it's so important to share information and knowledge, get feedback, and collaborate with each other. And to adapt strategy when necessary. This is what makes the main difference between failure and success. And affects all your initiatives. Not just those that transform your business.

ARIS therefore not only brings you another capability on how to consume process content, but seamlessly integrates it with one of the most used tools for everyday team collaboration, Microsoft Teams.

So now everyone can get involved in knowledge sharing very easily. No matter if involved in transformation projects or participating in continuous process improvement. As well as all other initiatives that affect business process changes in any way. Effective teamwork across the organisational structure will be a key success factor elsewhere.

New AI-enabled translation service of your ARIS content

In the new version of ARIS 10 SR 16, among other things, we were impressed by a new feature that can save you a lot of time and costs.

ARIS now supports very efficient localization of process database content into any language. Powered by advanced neural machine learning.

For translation, you can choose your preferred external services such as Google Cloud Translation, Microsoft Azure Translator or DeepL.

This makes it much easier for global companies to share process knowledge so that it can be fully understood in their native language by all employees anywhere in the world.

Zoty App dev is being taken over by the company Zoty Ltd

It's been almost 5 years since we started developing Zoty risk and asset management application. Now it 's time for a change in strategy. The development of Zoty will be handled by a newly established company, Zoty Ltd. What has not changed - the same team will continue to work on the development of Zoty.

The main focus of Zoty Ltd, besides the development itself, will be building and supporting the partner network. As well as the support of partners both in the implementation at customers sites and providing them a maintenance support.

The goal is to recruit other experienced experts from more industries, who, in addition to IDS Advisory, would expand the team capable of providing their services and know-how together with the Zoty App.

Thus, Zoty is not developing and will not develop commercial activities in any market towards potential or existing customers other than through its partners. One of Zoty's first partners becomes logically IDS Advisory.

This will enable IDS Advisory to focus primarily on its core competency - the implementation and enhancement of integrated process and risk management systems. Combined with the delivery of professional services in the areas of consulting, methodological and technical support for both Zoty and ARIS tools.

"This strategy will enable us to deliver comprehensive solution with higher added value to our customers",
said IDS Advisory's CEO, Petr Humpolicek

IDSA is changing

We have gone fully into the software development after strengthened our team of experienced developers. Will IDSA continue to be a consulting company or become a software house? Both is true.

The success of delivery of technologies requires a deeper knowledge of the customer's business and its processes. For software technologies, it is doubly true. And this is not about implementation only. This is especially about software development as well.

Having the whole delivery under control is challenging, nevertheless bringing us big responsibility. Anyway, we believe this is the right way how to provide customers with a real added value.

About ARIS in Czech

ARIS was developed and delivered by IDS Scheer in the past. IDS Scheer, a global German corporation, operated on Czech market since 1994 when a partnership with Comsoft company has been launched. IDS Scheer branch office in Czech has been established in 2001 after Comsoft has been acquired by IDS Scheer.

IDS Scheer itself has been acquired globally by Software AG corporation in 2010. Software AG focused mainly on software development and doing business via partners. As a result of the implementation of such a strategy, some of new Software AG units faced significant changes.

These changes affected the entire EMEA region including the Czech Republic. A local ARIS support does suddenly not exist anymore because of deep restructuring and downsizing of branch office in the Czech Republic in 2013.

The establishment of IDS Advisory company, which is being formed from the former Software AG's (formerly IDS Scheer) ARIS team, has been initiated because of the lack of qualified regional partners in Czech. It has also prevented the loss of critical knowledge and skills being developed within the previous 12 years and ensured continuity in providing of support to existing ARIS customers as well.

IDS Advisory became a partner of Software AG for Czech territory in May, 2013.itelligence company buys Software AG's branch offices in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. The acquisition process is carried out during 2013 and finished in January 2014. By now, IDS Advisory sells and implements ARIS via itelligence based on an exclusive partnership agreement.

IDS Advisory has terminated a partnership with itelligence in March, 2015. By now, IDS Advisory supports ARIS customers directly.
