While we believe you will gain most value from maintaining your data online and updating it during the operational life of the finished facility, we recognise that you may want an electronic 'archive' of your project information. This removes the need to download and print out copies of all documents and drawings, then store them in paper form for years in case of some later dispute. Not only are printing and storage costs reduced, but, in the event of a dispute, the legal costs associated with searching for and reviewing relevant documents will be significantly lower, paying for the cost of the archive many times over.

Archives are loaded onto encrypted pin-access hard disk storage devices, complete with all the software needed to search, view and access the full audit trail of every document, drawing, instruction, notice or other project communication. Depending on each organisation's needs, the archive can then be copied or downloaded onto its local area network or placed in secure storage.

• reduced document download and printing requirements - no need to print out copies of drawings and other documents 
• reduced document storage requirements - no physical archive boxes full of paperwork to store and manage 
• faster response to any future insurance claims or litigation - full archive of all drawings, documents and (most importantly) the associated metadata; let's you quickly establish and document who did what and when.
• Easily searchable electronic copy - stored on an encrypted USB2.0 storage device, with all standard and BIW applications necessary to view stored data 
• 'Future proof' - archive configured to long-standing data formats, so as 'future-proof' as current technology allows
