Complex systems analysis in general will share many of the same means and outcomes. ID tries to address something that evolutionary theory doesn't, and that is a pattern in the rules of the Universe themselves (e.g. math, physics) are appear human like to a human.
Complex systems ID doesn't say much about what to do with the information once it's demonstrated. The human historical context often immediately clothes ID, but ID doesn't require it.
A collection of totally random events produces a predictable distribution. The human interpreter automatically seeks patterns which are understandable to human terms, even if they are known to be inaccurate. That, to me, is the beauty of science because it seeks accuracy despite the bias of the observer.
