Mit den Archivsystemen ecoDMS und ecoMAILZ der Aachener Softwarefirma ecoDMS GmbH können Dokumente, Dateien und E-Mails gesetzeskonform archiviert und blitzschnell wiedergefunden werden. Die Aachener überzeugen dabei mit einem komplett eigenen, neuartigen und sehr modernem Konzept. Getreu dem Motto „Viel Software für wenig Geld“ sind die Archivierungssysteme von der ecoDMS GmbH bei vollem Funktionsumfang für jedermann erschwinglich.

Mit dem Dokumenten-Management-System ecoDMS, das für einmalig 69 Euro pro Lizenz angeboten wird – und der Preis fällt tatsächlich nur einmal an – liegen die Aachener im Bereich der Dokumentendigitalisierung und Archivierung ganz weit vorne. Das ecoDMS Archiv gilt bereits seit vielen Jahren als sehr beliebtes Dokumentenarchiv in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz. Tausende private und gewerbliche Nutzer setzen schon lange auf ecoDMS. Mit dieser Software können beliebige Dokumente und Daten in einem zentralen Archiv langfristig gespeichert werden. Zur Digitalisierung von Papierdokumenten werden herkömmliche Dokumentenscanner verwendet. Digitale Daten wie Office-Dateien, PDFs, Mails, Rechnungen, Zeichnungen, Verträge, Bilder, Videos und vieles mehr, können in Sekundenschnelle einfach ins Archiv gezogen werden. Speziell für verschiedene MS Office und OpenOffice Anwendungen und für Outlook und Thunderbird gibt es außerdem eigene Plugins. Jede lesbare Information wird mit der Archivierung von ecoDMS volltextindiziert. Über die integrierte Volltextsuche ist ein anschließendes Wiederauffinden blitzschnell möglich. Die Archivierungssoftware basiert auf einer Client-Server-Technologie. Die Installation der dafür notwendigen Komponenten kann schnell, benutzerfreundlich, einfach und plattformübergreifend unter Windows, Linux, MacOS, Raspbian und auf einem NAS-Gerät erfolgen. Für unterwegs ist der Zugriff auf das Archiv darüber hinaus via Mobile App und Browser möglich.

Mit dem E-Mailarchiv ecoMAILZ bietet die ecoDMS GmbH seit Herbst 2017 eine eigenständige Lösung zur rechtskonformen Mailarchivierung an. Die Software kostet 49 Euro pro Benutzer. Im Preis inbegriffen ist auch ein zweijähriger Updateservice. ecoMAILZ ermöglicht die automatische Archivierung elektronischer Nachrichten direkt vom Mailserver weg. ecoMAILZ bietet Importmöglichkeiten aus verschiedenen Mailserver und Groupware-Lösungen.

Hierbei erhält jede Nachricht einen entsprechenden Status. In Kombination mit einer frei konfigurierbaren Sichtungsfrist kann über den Status der aktuelle Archivierungsstand verwaltet werden.
