Na temat projektu
Starting point
As one of the most dynamic corporate groups of the sanitary industry, Duravit produces sanitary
ceramics, bath furniture, bathtubs, wellness products and accessories for the international market.
Due to its expansion and the significant increase in document volume, the archive system in use had
reached its limits. That's why Duravit decided in 2011 to look for a more modern and sustainable
alternative. In light of SER's extensive expertise in ECM, Duravit chose to go with Doxis4. Since then,
Doxis4 along with other eRecord solutions and server-based archiving were set up throughout the
international company.
