How it works

A record's whole life, in storage you own

XeresDocs decides what happens to each file and when. Your storage holds it the whole time, and the browser uploads and downloads straight to it.

The life of a record

Filed, kept, tiered and disposed of, on schedule

  1. Filed

    A member of staff uploads a file into a record. It goes from their browser straight to your storage, is scanned for malware, and is tagged with its record and schedule.

  2. Kept

    The record type's schedule sets a retention date. At the Protected and Compliance levels your storage holds the file until that date as well.

  3. Tiered

    Files nobody has opened for a while move to cheaper storage tiers on rules you choose, so a large archive costs less to keep.

  4. Held

    A legal hold stops disposal of a record for as long as a claim, inquiry or request needs it.

  5. Disposed of

    Records past their date are listed for review. Once approved they are deleted from your storage, and the audit trail records who approved it and when.

Everyday work

What staff see

Records, not folders

Each record has a type, the fields that type needs, and a name built from them, so files are found by what they are about.

Search everything you may see

Search by name, reference or any field, across every department you have access to and nothing beyond it.

Open files in the browser

PDFs, Word documents, images and Outlook messages open in the page without being downloaded.

Recent files

The files you worked on last are on your home screen, checked against what you may still open.

Versions kept

Every saved change keeps the version before it, and an earlier version can be restored.

Activity

See who opened, changed or moved a record, in the order it happened.

Storage

Azure or AWS, and more than one

Connect as many storage accounts as you need. Each department files into the one you choose.

  • Azure Blob Storage. Our template creates the account in your subscription, and XeresDocs signs in to it through your own Microsoft directory.
  • Amazon S3. Create a role in your AWS account that XeresDocs can assume. No access key changes hands.
  • Your own region. Keep records in a UK region, or wherever your policy says they belong.
  • Your cloud bill. You pay your provider for storage at your own rates, and see exactly what it costs.
