Document flow is an inevitable part of any company. It includes incoming and outgoing correspondence, reports, internal orders as well as letters and orders of higher management and organizations. What happens if this document flow is still based on paper work?

Naturally, every document should be archived and there is different storage time depending on the document from 1 to 3 years or more. At the end of the year all documents are put in a folder and are kept in archives.
