Managing Director

Let’s start off with the question, “What is archiving?”

To the industry today it could be:

Collection process that maintains data integrity to irrefutable storage.
Non-type specific Search and Retrieve functionality
Full life cycle management of records

But whichever definition you prefer the primary motivation for an archive should be for Compliance and/or Operational reasons.

Without an efficient archive companies are at risk of loosing control over their important electronic business records and valuable information, and cannot effectively meet operational and legislative requirements.

Email for example is a critical business communication tool today. Based on its content, it forms binding contracts with customers, suppliers and employees. In essence it is a record of any negotiations, purchase orders and business commitments made between the company and its clients.

“There are many competitive products in the market but the issues regarding archiving are more complex than product selection alone, thus a product independent system integrator is needed”

AOAS have a track record in Archiving, we are product independent, we have a proven business driven consulting methodology and we offer an ongoing support and maintenance partnership.
