Legislation makes it possible to do away with paper and use legally admissible, natively digital documents. Moreover, electronic documents are subject to the same retention periods as paper documents.

The real challenge is to ensure that they are kept in a way that guarantees their integrity for the duration of the legally required period.

Docaposte ensures that digital data is retained with integrity and on a long-term basis, regardless of whether your business is public or private. All companies are concerned by electronic archiving, which is the basis for the preservation of 100% digital processes.

Complementary to our electronic document management (EDM) and digital safe services, our electronic archiving services (EAS) go well beyond simple storage and preserve the long-term enforceability of your archives.

Why choose Docaposte expertise?

  1. Compliance: Our digital solutions meet legal retention requirements
  2. Security: Operating in our own private storage areas, digital archiving eliminates the risk loss or destruction of documents
  3. Ease of use: with digital archiving, you can immediately find a document in all your digital files
  4. Integrity: this type of archiving guarantees that you will have evidence in the event of a dispute, proving that the file has never been altered

NF 461* certified archiving with probatory value

Docaposte has NF 461 "Electronic archiving system" certification. The EAS guarantees the integrity of documents over time and therefore preserves their probative value.

  • Control and validation at the time of deposit: conversion into formats that can be read over time to guarantee the archive's longevity
  • Construction of the archive: time-stamping, allocation of a Unique Archive Identifier (UAI), calculation of the print
  • Archive sealing and logging to ensure traceability of all events
  • Integrated preservation
  • Traceability of actions performed on documents in life cycle logs

Remove the need for physical storage with a reliable copy      

              

Docaposte covers the entire Trust chain from accurate scanning to archiving with probative value, so that paper originals can be destroyed in compliance with the law.

We ensure that the digital copy has the same value as the paper original. The latter can be destroyed, even before the end of the legal retention period, if the digitisation complies with the required conditions, which simplifies risk management, crucial in both public and private sectors.

The reliable copy brings you multiple benefits:

  • 100% dematerialised process (destruction of paper originals)
  • Compliance with legal document storage obligations
  • Supplying evidence in the event of a dispute
  • Reduction of fixed costs and physical storage space
  • Elimination of the risk of loss or destruction of information
  • Centralization of information
  • Controlled access and sharing of information
