Why in some companies and agencies still deal with paper documents?

Providers of document storage, such as Google, occasionally optimize their storage. Unfortunately, some documents or parts of documents could be deleted in the process, without notifying the document owners.

Documents tend to have many versions during the life cycle, or be split into a few different files. In order to check the changes made to the files and who made the changes, it is necessary to return to the previous version.

Digital document management systems generally only maintain a limited history of file changes. After a while, old versions disappear and only the final document remains

Many companies do not allow the storage of essential documents on laptops, since they are not protected against theft.

Documents can be stored and collaborated on in several ways.

The traditional paper-based archive is secured and protected against loss.

• However, to organize documents, storage, and access, a team of experts is needed.
• Collaborating and sharing documents is not convenient and ancient.

The email system offers a simple way to organize documents and exchange messages.

• However, it is not secure and you may lose your data if your provider's policies or server hardware fail.
• Working with a large number of team members or large files limits its convenience.

Cloud-based file sharing services such as Box or DropBox, are secure on the server side and easy to use for collaboration.

• However, your computer's data is not protected against theft or loss.
• The history of your collaboration disappears after a while, and only the final document is retained.
• This is why it was unable to substitute paper-based archives and e-mail.

ByteUnited Office combines the advantages of all three approaches.

• A secure storage solution that never loses any version of a document.
• Streamline collaboration with precise access permissions and change tracking.
• Ensure that user data is protected against theft or loss of the computer.
• Providing tools for easy investigation of document history.

ByteUnited Office ideas have originated from Professional Version Control Systems (VCS) used in software development industry.

Version Control System (VCS) function to organize software projects through long periods of development and support time. All versions of source code are preserved. VCS organize collaboration between hundreds and thousands of people in a precise matter. The number of files can be up to the millions, and files can be logically connected. As changes in one file could affect many others, those others also have to be modified. Syncing files with other team members is allowed after testing, and automatic sync prohibited, as it could destroy work of other developers. Sync is performed through "submitting" or "pushing" the set of modified files. This set of files creates project snapshot, which can be a restored to any prior point.

Professional VCSs have the disadvantage of having a complicated user interface and ideology.

Our workspace environments are changing. According to WikepediA:

ByteUnited Office combines the advantages of VCS with simplicity without sacrificing functionality offering:

• simple user interface to VCS functionality
• user and project management functionality on the top of VCS
• integration of multiple tools in a single solution
• multiple levels of data and document encryption
• secure message exchange between team members
• access to documents and version history through a web browser
