Digitization for public services

Farewell paper archives; hello archiving software. Now that the German government has agreed on its “Digitale Verwaltung 2020” (“Digital Administration 2020”) program, public authorities need to make a few changes. The first step is to set up the technical framework required for e-binders and digital archives. Step two is to answer one question: what to do with your existing piles of data, and in particular the inactive data you still need to keep? PoINT Storage Manager offers public authorities the solution: rules-based archiving with transparent read access. This secure archiving software fully meets compliance requirements and data protection guidelines.

Industry 4.0 makes data to a valuable resource

Productions should be quick and error-free. The revolution "Industry 4.0" even wants to be better. The aim: a self-organized production process by a closer communication between human and device. The car industry tests such an optimized process partially with recreated assembly lines in virtual reality. As a result engineers want to transmit individual work steps without errors. But what happens at this point?
Data growth! These data are not only a valuable resource. The handling is also a challenge because the data require a reliable protection and a suitable preservation. Key terms: "missing archiving and overloaded expensive primary storage". Like Industry 4.0 PoINT Storage Manager optimizes data management and also works automatically.

Implement the 2018 EU data protection regulation (EU GDPR) with PoINT Storage Manager

From May 25, 2018, businesses holding personal data belonging to European citizens must comply with the new European regulations on data protection (General Data Protection Regulation). Specifically, after this date, businesses must apply a standard methodology for protecting personal information against unauthorized changes or unforeseen loss.
Companies should therefore use a technical solution which meets these new requirements. The PoINT Storage Manager (PSM) does so with features such as WORM functionality, which prevents undesired changes to data. The software also offers protected archiving thanks to integrated AES encryption.

The PSM’s retention management functionality not only helps meet compliance demands (such as retention periods) but also enables wide-ranging file management, including targeted deletion of individual files once the retention period expires.
Personal data is all information which can be assigned to an individual: everything from bank account statements to X-ray images. Companies which fail to comply with the new regulation can expect to be fined.
