How it works

At the core of ADONIS is a central, organization-wide process platform. Users can model and visualize processes at the level of detail required for each initiative. Clear process diagrams make it easy to identify redundancies, bottlenecks, and unnecessary complexity. At the same time, quantitative analyses, risk and compliance aspects, as well as artifacts supporting digitalization and e-government projects can be seamlessly integrated. ADONIS connects processes across departmental and organizational boundaries. Interfaces, handovers, and dependencies become transparent, data sources are unified, and end-to-end processes are clearly defined. Process owners can be assigned to key processes and directly embedded within the system. Different stakeholder groups—ranging from organizational departments and IT or e-government specialists to internal audit and risk management—receive tailored views of the process documentation while working on a single, coherent repository. A key feature of ADONIS is the ability to simulate process changes. Proposed modifications can be tested virtually in order to assess their potential impact before real-world implementation. Structured workflows for approvals, rollouts, and tracking further support change initiatives. ADONIS thus covers the entire change management cycle—from collaboration and communication to implementation, training, and ongoing evaluation. This participatory approach increases acceptance, quality, and long-term success of transformation efforts.

The Big Picture

ADONIS is far more than a tool for process documentation. It creates a shared language and a common understanding of processes within and across organizations. As such, it lays the groundwork for effective digitalization, automation, and innovation-driven collaboration in the public sector. By enabling transparent, measurable, and manageable processes, ADONIS empowers public administrations to respond more quickly to new requirements, allocate resources more efficiently, and ensure regulatory compliance. At the same time, it supports cultural change—moving away from isolated silos toward holistic thinking, continuous improvement, and a stronger focus on citizens. This has proven valuable in federal ministries, regional and municipal administrations, as well as state-owned enterprises wherever complex processes must be structured, optimized, and future-proofed.
