Client installations can be performed by the customer or with the assistance of Bitfarm-Archiv consultants.

Data Anonymization and Pseudonymization: Data collected through the website is anonymized or pseudonymized to prevent tracing back to specific individuals.

bitfarm-Archiv releases updates and patches regularly, which are included in the software support contract at no additional cost. These updates are managed to ensure minimal disruption and maximum benefit to the users.

bitfarm-Archiv ensures that users retain ownership of their data. The system includes features for exporting documents and data, which can be done automatically on a server basis or manually by authorized users. This ensures that users can migrate their data to other systems if needed, maintaining control over their information.
bitfarm-Archiv is designed to scale flexibly according to organizational needs. The system can handle anywhere from 5 to 5,000 users and supports multi-server configurations for load balancing. This scalability ensures that as a company's needs grow or shrink, the DMS can be adjusted accordingly without significant disruption. The cost structure is also adaptable, with service and support costs based on the number of users and type of service required.
Automatic Renewal Monitoring: The system calculates daily whether a termination option is imminent based on contract dates, terms, and notice periods. It starts a workflow if necessary, notifying the responsible administrator or department head to decide on the contract's continuation or termination.
Notification System: Employees or their representatives are automatically notified when contracts expire, taking into account the respective notice periods. This ensures timely review and action on contract renewals or cancellations.
GDPR Compliance: The software adheres to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ensuring that personal data is processed lawfully, transparently, and securely.
Audit-Proof Archiving: The system provides audit-proof archiving, which is crucial for compliance with various legal and regulatory requirements, including those related to tax and financial documentation.
