Our hosted disaster recovery software can reduce the cost of your business interruption insurance by up to 25% by making your data available via a secure website soon after a disaster strikes. It essentially provides a hosted version of your OnBase system that can be set up to synchronize data as soon as it is entered into your system.
We also offer database validation, which is like an insurance policy for your OnBase system. You send backup media of your OnBase database to Hyland software at regular intervals.

We can also safeguard your files by inspecting them byte by byte and ensuring that what is reported in the disk groups matches what is reported in the database.
