Bring your own storage

We run the service. You keep the files.

Most document systems hold your records in their cloud. XeresDocs splits the job so the part that matters stays with you.

Yours

Your storage

  • Azure Blob Storage or Amazon S3, in your own account
  • Your region, your keys, your bill
  • Retention locks the storage itself enforces

Yours

Your sign-in

  • Staff sign in with Microsoft 365, as they already do
  • Multi-factor authentication required by default
  • Leavers lose access when you disable them

Ours

The XeresDocs service

  • Hosted in the UK, upgraded and monitored by us
  • Your records database, run for you or in your tenant
  • Never holds a copy of your files

Retention levels

Choose how hard the lock is

Every organisation picks its own level for each storage account. XeresDocs never chooses the strictest one for you.

Application

XeresDocs refuses to dispose of a record before its date. The default for most organisations.

Who can override: your storage administrator

Protected

The storage itself holds each file until its date, as well as XeresDocs.

Who can override: a storage administrator, deliberately

Compliance

Each file is locked in storage until its date. Nobody can delete it early, including us and your cloud provider's account owner.

Who can override: nobody

Getting started

From first call to first governed file

Setting up follows the order the work forces. Your administrator does it from screens in XeresDocs, and a checklist confirms each step against your storage.

  1. Sign in with Microsoft 365

    An administrator approves XeresDocs for your organisation on one consent screen.

  2. Connect your storage

    Run our template in your Azure subscription, or create a role in your AWS account.

  3. Set up your structure

    Departments, record types and retention schedules, started from your sector's.

  4. File your first record

    Upload it, and see it scanned, tagged and held in your own storage.

We'll walk through your retention schedule and show it running against storage you control.
