Milestones of ARTEC IT Solutions GmbH

Today, ARTEC IT Solutions GmbH is a leading manufacturer of comprehensive data management solutions for collecting, using, storing, and archiving relevant company data in a legally compliant manner.
Of course, we are constantly working on further developing our patented solutions for data management and data security, and making them even more secure. Stay tuned to see which technologies ARTEC has in store for you in the future!
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.

Development of the EMA DeDup Server. With its help and the integrated in-memory database, e-mail duplicates can be reduced in Exchange Server environments with multiple EMAs, thus saving storage capacity.
ARTEC receives major orders from public high-security organizations in Germany.
ARTEC's product plate becomes more transparent and easier to understand. The modular core product EMA stands for information management and data security, while VSTOR® is available as high-performance mass storage, and firegate VPN completes the portfolio with unique security mechanisms in the Trusted Computing area.

The year 2017 starts with the Partner Days and the presentation of new possibilities in the context of SMART Integration Tools with the ARTEC SDK and new APIs, which enable EMA to be integrated into daily business or industry solutions.
In order to provide more data security, ARTEC presents various concepts against cyber attacks.
ARTEC's own, independently developed operating system AOS (ARTEC Operating System) started to be used as the base of all solutions. Furthermore, Mobile Device Management was created for better security and control mechanisms when using the EMA app.
With the introduction of WAN Synchronization, latency problems are a thing of the past. It allows data to be transferred between two sites without delays.
SMART Station supports indexing of text in image files and e-mail attachments, making scanned documents searchable.

ARTEC's solutions are also available in the cloud. Maximum security is achieved through cloud solutions "Made in Germany".
The world is becoming more and more mobile and to meet customer demand, ARTEC launches the EMA app, which allows easy access to all data on the go.
In order to connect locations and systems even more securely, firegate VPN was developed as a new, encrypted access solution for hosted data and applications.

With the VSTOR Vault product series, ARTEC launches its own enterprise storage solutions on the market and starts creating new, user-friendly IT forensic solutions with eDiscovery Services.
With SMART Link, the first module of the ARTEC SMART Integration Tools is created. Data from different applications and systems can be linked and made available across multiple sources so users never have to leave their primary application.

The E-Mail Archive Appliance becomes the EMA Enterprise Managed Archive®.
Through continuous further development, the modules Mail to Archive®, Scan to Archive®, Print to Archive®, File to Archive® and Voice to Archive® can be used to store data from a wide variety of sources, sizes and formats (e-mails, printed and scanned documents as well as voice recordings).
Opening of the ARTEC branch office in the United States (Atlanta, Georgia).
