Document Archive

Easily restore archived documents without the need to call the IT department

Eventually document archiving is required to manage large doc databases effectively. As time passes and your database gets bigger and slower you ultimately realize LESS is MORE; Hence you need a tool like PerfectLaw^® DMS Archive that not only reduces search times and the size of your database, but like Weight Watchers^®, keeps the weight off if you follow the rules! DMS Archive does this by pruning the database automating via a doc archive and restore process using age and date based formulas; this pruning limits the size of the ACTIVE database!

PerfectLaw^® DMS Archive utility automates both the archive and restore of documents and document profiles via age- and date-based formulas to improve both the speed and storage management.

  Archive database
