Thanks Faisal! so far i-doit is the closest to the type of documentation system i'm looking for. it's still very data center oriented but it looks like it can be made to accomplish what i need.
NIPAP is a confusing set of acronyms that i have no i idea where to begin with even understanding what it does. it seems like something that would replace IPPLAN. their entire web page is all acronyms :-/ confluence seems more like a group project/task management that also does some documentation. -sean On Thu, Aug 4, 2016 at 6:02 PM, Faisal Imtiaz <[email protected]> wrote: > I share your sentiment and pain....and there is a lot you are leaving out > ...related to keeping track of other bits of related information, keeping > it updated on a regular basis.... > > after trying lots of things... we are getting ready to pull the trigger on > this... > > https://www.i-doit.com/en/ > > It's a German Company... but the product is very interesting, very > flexible, and may get you thinking on a few other section of the business, > how you keep info, organize info etc. > > Do keep us posted on what you end up with. > > Faisal Imtiaz > Snappy Internet & Telecom > 7266 SW 48 Street > Miami, FL 33155 > Tel: 305 663 5518 x 232 > > Help-desk: (305)663-5518 Option 2 or Email: [email protected] > > ------------------------------ > > *From: *"Sean Heskett" <[email protected]> > *To: *[email protected] > *Sent: *Thursday, August 4, 2016 6:20:09 PM > *Subject: *[AFMUG] network device map/wiki/management/database/ > documentation system > > Hey guys and gals, > I don't know if something like this already exists so i thought i'd ask > y'all before i went and created it.
