Company History

Milestones of ARTEC IT Solutions GmbH

Since this year, the new EMA® Outlook extension makes the e-mail program much more performant. This is because EMA's proven search options can now be shown in the familiar Outlook environment. Thanks to EMA, documents from the file server or even recorded telephone calls and SAP documents are integrated in addition to e-mails.
Furthermore, complex workflow scenarios can be easily implemented with EMA through extensions to the attribute system (Enterprise Attribute Editor). This allows, for example, release processes such as invoice verification to be mapped in detail.
The creation of records and department archives is also simplified once again by the attribute system. This is ensured by a function with which a wide variety of documents can be linked together. The linked documents for which corresponding linking attributes have been defined can be called up collectively in EMA.
In 2023, the security and disaster recovery functions were also further expanded. Companies that have more than two redundant data center sites or more than two fire zones per data center can benefit from an extension of the EMA hot standby concept. Because from now on, any number of standby devices can be used, each with a storage system.
Of course, we are constantly working to further develop our patented solutions for archiving, data management and data security and to make them even more secure. Stay tuned to see which technologies ARTEC has in store for you in the future!

Today, ARTEC IT Solutions GmbH is a major manufacturer of comprehensive data management solutions ranging from centralized collection, efficient use and secure storage to legally compliant archiving of all corporate data, regardless of source, size or location.
Full integration with Microsoft 365 is possible. Our solutions thus ensure maximum data security and optimal access even in Microsoft's cloud.

Cyber attacks have increased tremendously in 2019. That's why we created the EMA Cyber Defense bundle, which always provides a completely separate, secured and encrypted copy of valuable data.
Using the certified SAP Content Server integration of EMA, SAP documents and other company data can be managed in one system.
