Nestor™ - Electronic web-based archiving solutions
The ability to provide fast, accurate information is a decisive competitive factor, especially in customer focused businesses. The objective of providing relevant customer and business information in a matter of seconds needs effective management of large amounts of information and data that must be readily accessible. Consequently, it is important that an electronic archiving system is structured as efficiently as possible and used to maximum economic benefit. The neStor electronic archiving solution uses web browser technologies to give access to information as efficiently as possible based on existing Internet or Intranet structures to make information easily accessible to users via a LAN, WAN or the Web.
One of the outstanding features of this system is its great flexibility in handling numerous types of data stored on a wide variety of media. Another of the key advantages is that the system is independent of location. The internet offers access to the required information with maximum flexibility from anywhere in the world at any time, day or night, provided of course that the user has the necessary authority to do so and that they meet the multilevel security clearance criteria. neStor offers maximum performance and individuality. The system’s multi-user capability permits application-based design of the search tools with variable search profiles. Direct access to the required information may be configured in structured search trees for a schematic search function. Access control via user groups regulates user authorisation in relation to individual document classes. This ensures that every user can only access information for which he or she has appropriate authorisation. In addition, scheduled or automated search processes can also be triggered, either for immediate, time defined or cyclic execution.
The use of neStor as a central document management and archiving system, especially in organisations with a branch structure and or out of office staff, has proven to be highly successful, particularly due to the uniform platform, low maintenance effort, extensive access options and ease of integration with existing work practices and other applications.
