Overview

GL2 wrote custom scanning software for a client and they needed a backup solution to archive their documents in a very granular and specific way. We helped the client research off-the-shelf solutions that were available and they did not offer the features the customer needed.

The solution GL2 wrote archives specific types of files according to a specific schedule. Some documents are only archived when they have been marked to archive in a SQL Server database. Some documents are archived after a specified period of time. and other documents are archived manually.
