How can ID:webArchive protect my documents?
With document imaging, your information will be protected when disaster strikes. As records accumulate, protecting irreplaceable documents and maintaining data confidentiality becomes a huge undertaking. Recent national events such as terrorist attacks, floods, hurricanes, and fires emphasize the importance of this disaster protection. Equally important is meeting regulatory compliance guidelines that demand records be secure. This, too, is challenging as it’s difficult to block access to entire file cabinets or file rooms without affecting workflow. With ID:webArchive the entire history of your organization can reside on redundant disk in a secure location. Digital backup of your organization will fit on a tape small enough hold in your hand, virtually eliminating the risk of lost data. Employees will be able to quickly access documents while also limiting the availability of confidential information by assigning user access privileges. With ID:webArchive, documents are accessed only with an authorized username and password.
What kind of training is available?

ID:webArchive can be installed in 1-2 hours, depending upon what options you select. Our staff will work with you to determine a useful structure for your documents. We can then set up this first structure over a couple of days, working with your staff interactively. We will train them to be able to modify this later, or set up structures and domains on their own.
Will ID:webArchive work with my current data system?
Yes. ID:webArchive has an integration component. We are able to ‘couple’ it with your data system to minimize redundant data and data entry. When you index a document into ID:webArchive, this integration piece will go find the data from your data system to describe the document.
