Subject-specific digital file management

Modular file solutions that intelligently combine documents, data and workflows.

Rethinking the specialist file: all information in one place

In many organizations, information about a process is distributed across different systems, drives or emails. This makes transparency, collaboration and traceability difficult. With a digital file management all relevant documents, data and meta information for a process are bundled in a central digital file – structured, secure and accessible at all times.

We realize specialized file solutions based on open, modular technologiesthat can be adapted precisely to your processes and specialist logics. Instead of rigid standard solutions precisely configured file structures, that integrate your existing systems and digitally support your processes – whether construction files, personnel files or project files.

Through the connection of document management, workflow automation and open source technologies we create solutions that standardize your information flows, accelerate decisions and make processes controllable.

The result:

Central and standardized information base

Specialist logic and role-based file structure

Integration in specialist processes and BPMN workflows

Audit-proof filing and traceability

Flexible, expandable and future-proof thanks to open architecture

Use cases for subject-specific, digital file management and distribution

Building or process file in the administration

All documents, applications, plans and statements are brought together centrally. Automatic assignment, deadline monitoring and approval workflows ensure consistent processes.

Personnel file

Digital management of applications, contracts and employee documents with clearly defined access rights and audit-proof storage - fully GDPR-compliant.

Project or funding file

Structured recording, processing and tracking of projects, funding applications and reporting obligations. Automatic status tracking and document linking create transparency.

Contract file

Contracts, attachments and correspondence are managed centrally, versioned and linked to deadlines or responsibilities - for secure processes and fast approvals.

Citizen or customer file

All relevant documents, emails and applications are brought together in a central digital file - for a 360° view of every process.

Governance & Compliance

Each file follows defined retention, deletion and access rules. This ensures that all information is archived in a traceable and legally compliant manner.
