To effectively and professionally communicate both internally and externally with customers, your teams need to collaboratively manage the content that drives business operations. The smooth, efficient flow of business documentation is the lifeblood of any successful company.  Email is increasingly used for corporate communications, yet where are they stored ?, will they be available in a years time?. Web Cabinet stores and retrieves your emails like any other corporate information.
 

The traditional paper seal The electronic "seal"
While it is easy to see if a handwritten document has been tampered with, this is not the case with electronic documents. The rapid replacement of traditionally paper-based processes such as tax filing, applications for loans or mortgages and the sharing of legal statements or clinical records has created the need for the production of tamper-evident, trustworthy digital originals which can maintain their evidentiary value over long periods of time. VillageMall provides a full integrated document sealing service to all it's Web Cabinet customers.

Features:

Supports any document or image format
Web
Cabinet architecture accepts any document or content format which can be serialised. This format independence is essential to meet the wide variety of document and record formats used within typical applications. You may also store email messages, which increasingly contain corporate or legal information.
Optional Cloud content storage
While all meta data is stored within Web Office, you may select to store the actual content within Amazon S3 cloud storage. This provides an alternative to our content storage charges. All fees and appropriate service selection are the responsibility of the client, VillageMall only provides the integrated AWS interface for interaction with Amazon S3 service. Subscribers with excess of 200 megabytes of document storage will be required to use this service, as this exceeds our reasonable use policy.
