Digital archiving from the cloud

The solution is based on the ImageMaster archive service and meets three key challenges: The growing volume of data and complexity of system landscapes, along with ever increasing commercial and tax regulations on the storage of digital documents.  Companies and authorities are required to electronically archive tax-related documents for up to ten years and more. Smart Archiving Services meet these requirements and stand up to tax and other audits.
As with all applications based on ImageMaster, the digital archiving solution is equipped with dedicated access management.  Only authorized persons or systems are permitted access. T-Systems ensures secure operation of the digital archiving solution.
