Auconet

Auconet is a provider of IT Operations Management (ITOM) software, founded in 1998 by a German engineering team. The company originally operated as a systems integrator for Global 1000 enterprises before developing its own platform in response to the lack of vendor-independent network management solutions in the market. Auconet's core product is the Business Infrastructure Control Solution (BICS), a unified platform designed to monitor, manage, control, and secure network infrastructure across all vendors' devices and endpoints. BICS is built around several design principles: real-time 100% network visibility, scalability to support up to one million or more endpoints, vendor independence, a consolidated and correlated CMDB, and a single-pane-of-glass interface for managing all connected assets. The platform supports wired and wireless endpoints, industrial devices (OT/ICS environments), and spans both legacy and modern infrastructure. It is available as on-premises, virtual, or SaaS deployments, including multi-tenant configurations. BICS enables access control through policy-, device-, and user-based rules, and consolidates functions previously handled by disparate ITSM and single-purpose tools. Auconet targets large enterprises and industrial organizations, with customers that include DHL, Deutsche Bahn, BASF, Airbus Group, ING, Siemens, and Berliner Wasserbetriebe. The company positions BICS as a replacement for fragmented, vendor-proprietary network management tools, aiming to reduce total cost of ownership and operational complexity. Implementation is designed to be completed within hours to days.
