Electronic filing

Electronic filing enables organisations to store and share files.  It is secure, quick and easy to use, and offers shared access and document management from any Internet connection.

Documents and files can be easily uploaded, avoiding the need for back-up disks and the risk of loss through fire and theft. An electronic filing system is ideal for individuals, businesses and major corporations requiring safe storage. You can easily and conveniently swap data between your work computer, your laptop and your private PC. If you work away from the office, you don't have to worry about carrying CDs to access important files.

Setting up a web-based filing system allows you to upload your files from any computer that is connected to the Internet. You don't need to install special software or spend time configuring a connection. You can access all of your electronic files anytime from a secure web-server.

Electronic filing is:

  • Secure because data is stored off site, in fireproofed and alarmed data centres
  • Convenient because backups occur everyday, to a schedule
  • Reliable because information is stored on high quality disk servers
  • Cost Effective as the level of fees depends on the level of usage

Electronic filing systems can be customised to give the look and feel of your company’s internal intranet system so that staff feel comfortable using the service. Typical applications include access to invoice or purchase order documents, field engineer and service documentation and local authority planning files.
