01
Scoping
We look at your volumes, document types, departments and how your teams search today.
What you receive
A scoped plan and a realistic timeline.
How We Engage
How an ELArchive project runs, from the first call to the day your team searches the archive.
Every ELArchive deployment is an institutional project, scoped around your documents and delivered by one team.
Your project, at a glanceOne team, from start to support
Phase order shown for illustration. Your timeline is agreed after scoping.
An ELArchive project moves through five phases: scoping, design, digitization, go-live and ongoing support. IT-Blocks shapes the platform around your document types, fields and approval rules, digitizes your backlog if needed, and supports you from Cairo and Riyadh.
The five phases
Five phases, one team throughout
02
Design
We define document types, index fields, permissions and confidentiality levels with your records team.

An archive structure that matches how your institution works.
03
Digitization
If you have a backlog, our teams scan, index and check it directly on ELArchive.
What you receive
Verified records, loaded and searchable.
04
Go-live
Your teams start using the archive, and your administrators take over day-to-day management.
What you receive
A working archive your administrators can run.
05
Support
IT-Blocks stays with you after go-live, from Cairo and Riyadh.
What you receive
A local team that already knows your archive.
Your part in the project
What we need from your side
A records lead.
One person who knows your documents and can make decisions on fields and structure.
Access to the documents.
Sample files during scoping, and the full backlog during digitization.
Your access rules.
Who should see what, by department and by confidentiality level.
Your IT contact.
For Active Directory sign-in and browser access.
Your archive should fit the way your institution already works.
That's why IT-Blocks delivers every ELArchive deployment as a project, shaped around your documents and the people who use them.
How does an ELArchive project start?
With a scoping call to review your volumes, document types and how your teams work.
How long does an ELArchive project take?
It depends on volume, document types and whether a backlog needs digitizing. You receive a timeline after scoping.
Is ELArchive configured for each client?
Yes. We set up document types, fields, permissions and approval rules as part of every project.
What do we need to provide?
A records lead, access to the documents, your access rules and an IT contact for Active Directory sign-in.
Do you digitize our backlog as part of the project?
If you have one, yes. Our teams scan, index and check it directly on ELArchive.
Who supports us after go-live?
IT-Blocks teams in Cairo and Riyadh.
Do we need to install software on every computer?
No. ELArchive runs in the browser.
How much does a project cost?
It depends on your volumes, document types and scope. You get a quote once we've reviewed them on the scoping call.
