Electronic archiving for departments and companies: from archive room to search in seconds

Why archiving projects fail

Usually because they start by scanning everything without classification, producing a “digital archive” of thousands of unindexed files where nobody finds anything. Good indexing matters more than scanning itself.

The steps

Each of these steps needs a system that understands Arabic in indexing, search and text extraction from scanned documents. See what our Arabic electronic archiving system covers — indexing, permissions and document workflows — with costs explained on our pricing page.

• List document types (contracts, transactions, personnel files…)
• Define index fields per type (number, date, party, name)
• Set confidentiality levels and permissions
• Scan at suitable resolution and extract text where possible
• An electronic workflow for new documents
• A backup plan and retention periods
