Integrated Document Management is a term used to describe the technologies, tools, and methods used to capture, manage, store, preserve, deliver and dispose of 'documents' across an enterprise. In this context 'Documents' can be used to describe a myriad of information assets including images, office documents, graphics and drawings as well as the new electronic objects such as Web pages, email, instant messages and video.

History

Filehold was co-founded in 2005 by Mr. Larry Oliver, a 10 year veteran in Automated Data Collection technologies and Dr. Jacek Lipowski, a recognized industry expert in applying state of the art computer architectures including client server to Automated Data Collection designs for over 15 years. Prior to founding Filehold both Oliver and Lipowski had co-founded Real Data Systems and guided it to $10 million annually in sales when it was eventually purchased by Epic Data in August 1998. Real Data was the largest privately held Automated Data Collection systems integration company in the Pacific Northwest when it was sold.

Filehold was created in order to serve the document management needs of mid sized businesses, departments of large companies and various levels of Government. FileHold Systems was one of approximately 300 worldwide companies who were selected to participate in the elite Microsoft Windows Server 2008 codename "Longhorn" Ascend Program which is now known as Windows Vista. The Ascend program was designed to assist early adopters of Microsoft new technology platforms in their product development activities. Filehold was built on Microsoft’s Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) which allows the software to scale to support thousands of users, millions of files and an infinite number of documents. FileHold is 100% based on Microsoft platforms and developed using Visual Studio 2005 and .NET 2.0 technologies.
