Government Archiving
Government archiving system for records requested decades later.
Decrees, correspondence, citizen files. We digitize and index them in Arabic and English, so you can pull any of them up the moment the minister's office calls.

ELArchive helps ministries, municipalities and public authorities turn decades of paper into one secure, searchable archive. It indexes every record by the fields officials search by, logs every action, and mirrors your organizational structure in its access rules.
The challenge
The request comes from above. The file is in a storeroom three floors down.
Government archives hold records that can be requested decades later, often with no reference number and very little notice. Every hour spent searching is an hour the response is late.

Plan your backlog projectCost & timeline
What does a government archive project cost, and how long does it take?
It depends on three things: how much paper you hold, how many record types you use, and how many sites are involved. The scoping call covers all three, and you get a written plan, a timeline and a quote afterwards.
