PaperOffice 1.0
Version 2002
Your ideas are our fuel.
Through constant innovation, updates, and outstanding ideas, we always stay ahead of the current market situation.
We constantly question everything. Because nothing is forever.
Develop. Optimize. Improve. Integrate. Listen.
The PaperOffice team is working for you. No matter what you need. Modern. Innovative. Creative.
Individuality is our strength
No performance we execute is like the previous one, and even the individual process steps within the preparation and execution are always being questioned again and again.
Our basic setting remains constant, even after 20 years of market experience.
Not just simply finished - but perfectly solved for you.
Welcome to our world: Personal, transparent, open and friendly.
We put ourselves in your shoes
If the small problem from Monday suddenly turned into a big problem by Friday.
And others consider a solution impossible.
We help you. Guaranteed. At the highest level.
We, the former Schönland X-Media media agency, need a DMS and the few solutions on the market are too expensive, simply poor in terms of usability, and not suitable for us as a startup.
PaperOffice 1.0 as freeware
Based on Visual Basic 6 and a Microsoft Access database, the very first PaperOffice is being created and released to our customers as free freeware.
And the users love PaperOffice:
It combines all necessary functions at an unprecedented price.
More and more working hours are now being devoted exclusively to PaperOffice, which was originally developed as a self-solution.
PaperOffice Version 2 will be the first commercial version and now claims a full-time job.
Our business founder Daniel Schönland is putting all his eggs in one basket: What started as a hobby is now becoming the core business.
The regional advertising and web agency "Schönland X-Media", which is still based in Harsewinkel, is transforming into a software manufacturer.
With 4 employees and a puppy, Schönland X-Media becomes Realify Systems limited.
PaperOffice 2009
PaperOffice is now available with MySQL databases, becomes revision-proof, receives numerous new functions, and has a completely redesigned and adapted design based on Microsoft Office 2007.
The first international sale is made and PaperOffice gets its first English-language interface.
Computerbild magazine CD
PaperOffice owes its success to Computerbild and their outstanding work.
Computerbild believes in PaperOffice and for the first time includes "PaperOffice CBE" on the magazine CD.
Together with an excellent workshop, readers get to know PaperOffice and are excited.
Due to the previous enormous success, PaperOffice 2012 will immediately be launched exclusively in cooperation with the German, Polish and Russian Computerbild.
PaperOffice is being attacked.
PaperOffice is the target of all providers who proudly represent the German IT document mafia and are forced to comply with the agreed pricing policy or "close down".
Especially DMS providers with less than 4 letters in the product name do not find the idea of the highly professional DMS system PaperOffice at an affordable price funny at all and see their multimillion-dollar maintenance contracts crumbling.
The small, now 12-person PaperOffice team is bombarded almost daily with lawyer's letters, cease and desist orders, and negative online propaganda for fictional reasons.
David vs Goliath. But we have a mission and we continue.
PaperOffice reaches 150,000 licenses.
PaperOffice owes its success once again to Computerbild, this time also in Eastern Europe through its appearance in Computerbild Poland and Russia. There is a new PaperOffice CBE version and an extensive 6-page workshop.
PaperOffice is now established among readers, reaching unprecedented user numbers.
Over 150,000 delivered PaperOffice "Computerbild-Edition" licenses break all records.
PaperOffice Stealth is coming.
The multilingual PaperOffice "Stealth" is getting ready and will be delivered to selected users. The PaperOffice team has completed the completely newly developed PaperOffice and thus laid the foundation for all upcoming new versions.
The new PaperOffice is the world's first and only DMS software that has unprecedented features. This version not only has its own integrated cloud server, but also a complete fax and email solution.
PaperOffice is specifically designed for the DACH and European market, ensuring future-oriented alignment through a decentralized employee and distributor network.
Radically new architecture
What Apple can do, we can do too. And just as Apple needed Steve Jobs, PaperOffice needed its own "Steve Jobs" back:
Our founder Daniel Schönland. And the instruction that came was radical:
Everything new. Everything better. Everything as it used to be.
VB6 is being phased out.
In just one day, it was decided that the current PaperOffice version 2015 will be the last of its kind (and with the unchanged VB6 core from 2002).
At the same time, the PaperOffice team was working on plans for a brand new PaperOffice, which should be based on the experiences of PaperOffice Stealth and the collective knowledge gained from 13 years of in-house and field work.
The new PaperOffice appears for the first time on the drawing board.
PaperOffice 2018
The completely newly developed PaperOffice is finished and, for the first time in 16 years, combines ALL available technologies in just one PaperOffice software.
High-tech technologies such as Node.js and the V8 engine bring high-tech to everyone. Gone are the days when high-performance SQL databases had to be painstakingly installed and set up. The new PaperOffice is the first version that is fully operational "out-of-the-box" without any cumbersome administration.
The new PaperOffice raises the bar to an unprecedented level and guarantees absolute future security.
PaperOffice wins: QNAP exclusively and worldwide decides for PaperOffice
Due to the architecture of PaperOffice, the combination with a NAS device is the perfect final solution for complete document management in the digital office.
QNAP is one of the largest NAS manufacturers in the world with over 6 million devices. PaperOffice works with the most common NAS devices, including QNAP.
PaperOffice is the only authorized provider of document management systems for QNAP NAS worldwide.
COVID19 transforms PaperOffice 2020 into the ideal HomeOffice DMS
Digitalization must progress as quickly as possible to enable working and access to all documents as easily and securely as possible, even from home office.
By bundling all development resources, PaperOffice becomes the perfect all-rounder almost overnight and allows people to continue working from home.
Perfectly prepared: Since PaperOffice includes all the advantages of a cloud from the beginning, but without using an external cloud, strict regulations such as GoBD and GDPR are adhered to without any additional work.
Digitization at the speed of light thanks to new in-house financing.
Due to the immense demand for PaperOffice and the declining liquidity, we are supporting the economy and enabling the acquisition of DMS completely without bureaucracy through in-house financing.
has simply changed everything
Through our experiences, we have learned in 2020 what is truly important and what will best assist you.
So that everyone can continue with little resources and take advantage of the digital benefits: Every new PaperOffice Team license now automatically includes PaperOffice PLUS for 6 months and can be financed without bureaucracy.
