Labgroup presents “ILM-as-a-service”

/in /by

Capturing, archiving, processing and sharing electronic information in complete security over the web, that is Labgroup’s latest offer.

Inspired and designed in response to the challenges posed by the new law on electronic archiving and the PSDC certification (Digitisation and/or Archiving Service Providers), the “ILM-as-a-Service(TM)” (ILM – Information Lifecycle Management) offer is acomplete information lifecycle management solution, covering all stages from creation to final destruction.

The “ILM-as-a-Service” integrates with efficiency and transparency:

  • electronic data management (Content Management) via the collaborative Microsoft SharePoint(TM) platform, the market standard in the field;
  • electronic archiving (Records Management) via Cimail’s Easyfolder(TM), the electronic safe for Microsoft SharePoint(TM), a proven solution which already preserves the documents’ probative value of over 750,000 users worldwide.

“The true value of ILM-as-a-Service is the combination of three key elements which deliver an optimum solution to our clients. ILM-as-a-Service regroups: the successful integration of two leading software packages, its compliance with operational or regulatory requirements, as well as the training and consulting services.” stated Bernard Moreau, Labgroup’s CEO. “In view of the difficult economic climate, companies are seeking to optimise their resources. Labgroup, with 35 years’ experience, is adapting accordingly by offering them a SaaS solution (Software as a Service), i.e. on demand, without investment, with no entry fees or licences.“

For Eric Dorne, Chairman of CIMAIL, Labgroup’s “ILM-as-a-Service” offer responds perfectly to market expectations. “More than a product, it’s a successful linkage of our expertise in the long-term data integrity preservation and Labgroup’s know-how in the field of archive management.“

As a result of the successful partnership between the two companies, this solution offers unique characteristics:

  • it is available for businesses with one single user or more
  • it captures information at the source (Microsoft Office, Outlook, scanner, publishing chain, work applications, etc.)
  • it provides a three-level archiving service: operational, safe and probative (legal)
  • pricing is based on usage and is easily determined by the number of users and volume of data
  • implementation is easy and fast

Moreover, the “ILM-as-a-Service” solution includes advisory and training services to formulate the client’s archiving policy (filing rules, indexing, retention, dissemination and recovery of information) which ensures that the archiving costs are aligned with the value of the information. The information and data is stored in Luxembourg, in the Labgroup datacentres in Contern and Bettembourg; however, it can also be stored at the client who can choose to have an on-site or hybrid installation.

Bernard Moreau to conclude: “Labgroup has become a reference in the marketplace to independently advise businesses on their electronic preservation and probative value archiving needs. Labgroup is a provider able to cover all stages of the lifecycle of information -paper documents storage included- in an innovative way, securely and in full compliance with the legislation in Luxembourg.”

BNP Paribas Real Estate: Labroup is the ideal partner for document management

/in /by

BNP Paribas Real Estate Luxembourg chooses Labgroup for all its document management, from storage to destruction.

First office property manager in Luxembourg (425,000 square meters), BNP Paribas Real Estate Luxembourg is a subsidiary of BNP Paribas Estate, the first European real estate manager (30 million square meters). The company offers a broad portfolio of real estate services ranging from consulting to management through the promotion and coordination of construction projects, interior design and renovation.

Document archiving is crucial in the real estate business, especially because the law requires their preservation for at least 10 years. BNP Paribas Real Estate Luxembourg has entrusted this task to Labgroup, who is also in charge of the collection and destruction of legal documents.

The Professional of the Financial Sector (PSF) status of Labgroup reinforces the relationship of trust that has developed over time. A status even more important than the new division Real Estate Management at BNP Paribas Estate, which manages assets for clients around the world from Luxembourg, has grown considerably.

For Labgroup, it is a pleasure and a privilege to be the trusted partner of the worldwide leader in real estate management.

LuxairGroup: creating added value for archiving

/in /by

Labgroup has managed an important archiving project for LuxairGroup, with great emphasis on speed, methodology and by creating a long term partnership.

LuxairGroup is composed of three main Business Lines: the Airline, the Tour Operator and the Cargo Handling. Luxair Airlines is the national airline of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Its European network has greatly contributed to creating Luxembourg’s advantageous position in the world of finance.

Luxembourg Airport is also positioned as the fifth largest European freight handling airport. Cargo Handling activities have been greatly enhanced in 2008, when the Cargo Center was expanded, enabling a further 200,000 tons of freight per year to pass through Luxembourg.

LuxairGroup had always stored their business documents on their own premises. In 2006, due to internal expansion, the building used for storing documents was scheduled for demolition creating an immediate problem of where to store their records. By outsourcing their requirements, LuxairGroup were looking for a company who could not only store their archives but who also had a proven document management methodology and who could provide value added advice when required. It was also important that the selected company could complete the project within the required time lines.

Labgroup’s experience and capability in handling document management projects was instrumental in its selection by LuxairGroup. Upon being awarded the contract, Labgroup assembled a dedicated team to ensure that LuxairGroup’s requirements met the agreed deadline.

Labgroup also provided LuxairGroup with the online document management application ArcStore 6. This enabled LuxairGroup to arrange all their deliveries and pickups from their desktop.

Labgroup’s dedicated team ensured that LuxairGroup archiving requirements were handled rapidly and efficiently. The proposed building work could continue as planned without any costly hold ups. LuxairGroup now view Labgoup as a partner who can advise and assist them with all their immediate and future document management requirements.
