THE RES SUITE SOLUTION FOR SOFTWARE DOCUMENTATION AND QUALITY ANALYSIS

WHY IS AN ALWAYS UP-TO-DATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE INFORMATION SYSTEM NECESSARY

Corporate information systems are constantly evolving. Legacy applications, web components, microservices, databases, REST services and cloud environments coexist in increasingly interconnected architectures.

Keeping application documentation up to date through manual activities is costly, complex and often difficult to sustain.

This is compounded by the risk of losing critical technical knowledge, especially when historical expertise is concentrated in just a few people.

Without a clear view of the application landscape, it becomes more difficult to assess the impact of changes, manage technical debt, reduce errors and ensure continuity across software evolution processes.

Docet was created to address exactly these needs.

DOCET: MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS IN A SINGLE SOLUTION

Docet, part of RES Suite, provides a detailed and navigable view of the entire application environment, regardless of the technology or platform used.

The solution catalogs software objects in a single relational database and reconstructs the relationships between programs, jobs, databases, batch flows, application components and infrastructure elements.

Docet supports heterogeneous application environments, from core business systems on z/OS mainframes to modern applications distributed across Linux, Unix and Windows platforms.

With Docet, you can:

  • reconstruct the complete map of the IT system;
  • quickly analyze the impact of corrective or evolutionary changes;
  • monitor quality KPIs and compliance with corporate standards and best practices;
  • support audit processes, IT governance initiatives, application modernization projects and the oversight of outsourced services.

ACCESSIBLE, INTEGRABLE AND ALWAYS UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION WITH DOCET

Docet makes information available through several methods:

  • a web-based graphical interface to navigate the information system;
  • automatic reporting and documentation, also in CSV or XLSX format;
  • custom queries and export tools;
  • complex queries supported by AI;
  • a documented database for direct queries;
  • APIs to integrate information into other corporate tools.

Once configured, the solution automatically keeps documentation and relationships between components aligned with the current version of the system.
This reduces manual effort, simplifies change management and allows IT teams to work on a shared, up-to-date information base.

MAIN BENEFITS

SPEED AND SECURITY IN SOFTWARE EVOLUTION

Docet accelerates evolutionary and corrective interventions thanks to an up-to-date view of the relationships between software objects, reducing the risk of errors and analysis time.

REDUCED DOCUMENTATION EFFORT

Once configured, the solution automatically updates documentation and relationships between components, limiting recurring manual activities and making costs more predictable.

SOFTWARE QUALITY UNDER CONTROL

Automatic rules and objective KPIs help monitor code quality throughout the software lifecycle, reducing regressions and inconsistencies.

SUPPORT FOR APPLICATION MODERNIZATION

Docet identifies obsolete components, critical interconnections and intervention priorities, supporting refactoring, rationalization and application migration.

OBJECTIVE AND MEASURABLE GOVERNANCE

The solution enables the monitoring of quality, SLAs, technical debt and outsourced activities, supporting faster audits and greater traceability.

SHARED APPLICATION KNOWLEDGE

Docet preserves and makes application landscape knowledge accessible, reducing dependency on expertise concentrated in just a few people.
