01732 759725 BULLETIN Giacom partners with Storetec Giacom has partnered with Storetec to bring a tailor-made cloud service to its reseller-only channel. Newly launched in the Giacom Cloud Market, Document Management by Storetec enables resellers to store all their customers’ scanned paper, text and image-based documents in a fully secure, GDPR-compliant database. Exclusive to Giacom in the CSP market, Document Management is ideal for any business which holds sensitive and confidential information for a prolonged period of time. Users can easily upload scanned documents into their organisational database, customise the index fields and enable OCR (optical character recognition) making the document text-searchable, and restrict or allow users from accessing sensitive documents by enabling user privileges. Available in two distinct storage amounts, resellers can upgrade their customers at any time from a virtual filing cabinet to a cloud storeroom in Giacom Cloud Market. Giacom CEO Mike Wardell, said: “Storetec has been a vendor of choice for Giacom for some time. Situated a stone’s throw away from our head office in Hessle, Storetec’s Document Management service will provide safe, secure storage and 24/7 document access to end-users who may not have a cloud-based, SaaS solution in place. It’s perfect for our resellers who service industries with stringent security and compliance legislation.” www.storetec.net , www.cloudmarket.com M-Files recognised as a visionary M-Files has been recognised as a Visionary in Gartner, Inc.’s 2018 Magic Quadrant for Content Services Platforms.
