Company in liquidation Case Study

Digital records of a company in liquidation archived secure and legally

Companies in liquidation are also obliged to retain and keep available the legal and factual documents for a certain period of time.

The company not being mentioned by name for reasons of data protection has various physical and digital data, each of which must be retained for 10 years. Particular expertise is required for the proper and long-term archiving of digital data. archivsuisse has developed a comprehensive and cost-saving archiving concept for the digital data, in which piqlFilm plays a central role. The aim of the project was not only to store the digital data, but also to keep it available at all times together with the physical documents, in order to enable subsequent file inspections at any time during the legally prescribed retention period.

The company’s data was very heterogeneous and consisted of both physical documents in paper form and digital files. The digital documents were Office documents such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF, but also databases consisting of financial documents from an SAP application. In addition to these files, the various metadata are also part of the properties of this data stock to be archived.
