Data security is an extremely important issue, especially in the gardening and landscaping industry. That's why PaperOffice DMS works with a 1024bit encryption code, but not only that.

PaperOffice DMS has a very effective password management system so that ultimately the human being, who is to be regarded as the greatest weak point of every computer, cannot cause any damage.
All digital data is encrypted in PaperOffice DMS with 1024 bits and the format is converted.
