Without Doxis, your archiving slows you down

For many companies, digital archiving remains scattered across file servers, individual email inboxes, and paper folders. Each department applies its own rules, and no one really knows what needs to be kept, or for how long. With Doxis, everything changes.

GDPR compliance relies on manual, error-prone processes
×
An audit turns into a document hunt across multiple systems

Why digital archiving has become essential

The digitization of invoices, contracts, and customer exchanges has caused an explosion in the volume of documents that companies must retain, retrieve, and protect. A well-designed digital archiving system is no longer just a legal obligation: it's what allows your teams to work quickly, without risking penalties or the loss of institutional knowledge.

Preserve your company's knowledge

Securely retain all your business information, accessible across all sites and departments.

Reduce compliance risks

Archive your documents in compliance with current regulations, and avoid penalties and reputational damage.

Boost your teams' productivity

Reduce the time spent filing and searching for documents, and free up your employees for higher-value tasks.

How digital archiving works with Doxis

Doxis combines document capture, automated indexing, and digital archiving with probative value to turn your documents into a reliable, accessible, and compliant archive, with no manual intervention required.

1. Capture the document

Retrieve the document from any source: email, scanner, mobile devices, ERP, SharePoint, cloud applications, API, or shared folders. Doxis automatically ingests documents without any manual pre-sorting step.

2. Index and classify

Doxis identifies the document type and automatically assigns the metadata needed for future retrieval: document type, relevant department, date, and associated third party. This indexing relies on your business rules and classification criteria.

3. Store in a durable format

The document is converted to PDF/A format, which guarantees its readability even decades after archiving, and is then protected against any unauthorized alteration or deletion. This dual protection forms the basis of archiving with probative value.

4. Apply retention rules and track access

Legal or internal retention periods are applied automatically based on the document type. Every access and modification is logged in a complete audit trail, ready to be presented during an inspection or audit.

FAQ on digital archiving

What is digital archiving?

Digital archiving means storing electronic documents and data securely, legibly, and in compliance with regulations for their entire legal retention period. Unlike simple storage, archiving with probative value guarantees that documents have not been altered.

What is archiving with probative value?

Archiving with probative value guarantees that a document remains authentic, unaltered, legible, and accessible throughout its retention period, with the same legal value as a paper original.

Is Doxis compliant with the NF Z42-013 standard?

Yes. Doxis is ISO 14641-1 certified, the standard on which NF Z42-013 is based, and therefore meets the requirements for electronic archiving systems.

What is the difference between document management (DMS) and an electronic archiving system?

Document management (DMS) handles documents during their active use (creation, editing, sharing). An electronic archiving system then ensures their long-term retention, integrity, and compliance. Doxis brings the two together.

How do you set up GDPR-compliant digital archiving?

You need to define which documents are affected, apply retention periods, track access, and delete data upon expiration. Doxis automates these steps and simplifies GDPR audits.

How do you archive documents digitally?

Simply scan or retrieve the document, index it, store it in a durable format such as PDF/A, then apply the retention rules. With Doxis, these steps are automated.

How does Doxis handle document archiving with SAP?

Doxis archives SAP data through certified interfaces, automatically applies retention periods, and reduces the volume of data stored in SAP, notably easing migration to S/4HANA.

Can Doxis archive emails and SharePoint documents?

Yes. Doxis archives emails with their attachments and SharePoint documents within a single system offering archiving with probative value.

How many documents can an electronic archiving system handle?

Doxis supports volumes ranging from a few thousand to several billion documents, with availability suited to the most demanding environments.

Which digital archiving software should a company choose?

Choose a solution that complies with standards (NF Z42-013, GDPR), guaranteeing integrity, traceability, durable formats, integration with your tools (DMS, ERP, SAP), and strong scalability.
