The Initial Situation

Aveniq AG (formerly GIA Informatik) is an outsourcing service provider that supports several thousand users. The company faced the challenge of replacing a technically outdated help desk system. The existing solution could not be updated, did not offer ITIL-compliant processes, and could not map problems, changes, or ISO 20000-relevant workflows in a structured manner.

Manual workarounds, a lack of automation, and limited transparency increasingly hindered efficient service operations. To achieve its planned ISO 20000 certification, Aveniq needed a modern platform that would map processes in a standardized and scalable manner and provide ITIL-compliant support.

Conclusion:

With EcholoN, Aveniq has introduced a modern, ITIL-compliant ITSM platform. This platform standardizes, automates, and makes processes transparent. With EcholoN, the company successfully achieved ISO 20000 and ISO 27001 certifications. Today, it has a scalable, service-oriented operating model for more than 2,500 portal users.

Goals and Challenges

Replacement of the outdated help desk with an ITIL- and ISO 20000-compliant system

Mapping of complete ITIL processes (Incidents, Problems, Changes, Releases)

Greater transparency & key metrics for customers and internal quality management

Interoperability with third-party systems (SAP, AD, time tracking, etc.)

User-friendliness & modern look & feel

Centralized knowledge management and modern self-service

Updatability & release reliability

Solution Approach with EcholoN

Following a structured vendor evaluation, Aveniq chose EcholoN. The platform comprehensively maps ITIL processes, is flexibly configurable, and, thanks to the EcholoN Data Workflow System (DWS), offers a powerful integration foundation.

Based on best practices, the target processes were defined using EcholoN, aligned with ISO 20000 consultants, and then implemented 1:1. The modern service portal offers customers an intuitive interface, expands the service catalog, and enables a clear evaluation of services. At the same time, Aveniq introduced a central knowledge database and integrated time tracking, AD data, inventories, and other systems via DWS. This resulted in a process-oriented, audit-ready, and sustainable ITSM structure that became a central component of the ISO certifications.
