Not just ready - but perfectly solved for you.
Welcome to our world: personal, transparent, open and friendly.
We put ourselves in your shoes
When the small problem from Monday on Friday has suddenly become a big problem.
And others think a solution is impossible.
We help you. Guaranteed. At the highest level.
We, the former Schönland X-Media media agency, needed a DMS and the few solutions on the market were far too expensive, simply bad to use 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 created and released as freeware to our customers.
And users love PaperOffice:
It combines all the features they need at an unprecedented price.
More and more hours of work are going into PaperOffice, which was originally developed as a proprietary solution only.
PaperOffice version 2 becomes the first commercial version and now takes up a full-time job.
Our business founder Daniel Schönland puts all his eggs in one basket: What started as a hobby now becomes the core business.
The regional and still in Harsewinkel based advertising and web agency "Schönland X-Media" changes to a software producer.
With 4 employees and a puppy:Schoenland X-Media becomes Realify Systems limited.
PaperOffice 2009
PaperOffice is available for the first time with MySQL databases, becomes revision-safe, gets tons of new features and a completely redeveloped design adapted to Microsoft Office 2007.
The first international sale takes place and PaperOffice gets the first English language interface.
Computerbild magazine CD
PaperOffice owes its success to Computerbild and its outstanding work.
Computerbild believes in PaperOffice and presses the "PaperOffice CBE" for the first time on the magazine CD:
Together with an excellent workshop, readers get to know PaperOffice and are thrilled.
Due to the previous immense success, PaperOffice 2012 is immediately launched exclusively in cooperation with the German, Polish and Russian Computerbild.
PaperOffice is under attack
PaperOffice becomes the target of all vendors who proudly represent the German IT document mafia and are forced to adhere to the agreed pricing policy or "shut down".
Especially DMS vendors 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 for everyone at all funny and see their million dollar maintenance contracts crumbling.
The small PaperOffice team, which now consists of 12 people, is bombarded almost daily with letters from lawyers, warnings and negative Internet sentiment for fictitious reasons.
David against Goliath. But we have a mission and we keep going.
PaperOffice reaches 150,000 licenses
PaperOffice owes its success once again to Computerbild and this time also in Eastern Europe by appearing 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 PaperOffice "Computerbild-Edition" licenses shipped, breaking all records.
PaperOffice Stealth is coming
The multilingual PaperOffice "Stealth" is in the starting blocks and will be delivered to selected users. The PaperOffice team has completed the ultimate system with the completely redeveloped PaperOffice, laying the foundation for all new versions to come.
The new PaperOffice is the world's first and only DMS software to offer unprecedented functionality. Among other things, this version not only has its own integrated cloud server, but also a complete fax and email solution.
PaperOffice is specifically future-proofed for D-A-CH and the European market by a decentralized staff and distributor network.
Radically new architecture
What Apple can do, we can do too. And just as Apple needed its Steve Jobs, PaperOffice needed its own "Steve Jobs" back:
Our founder Daniel Schoenland.And the directive that came next was radical:
Everything new. Everything better. Everything as it was before.
VB6 is discarded
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, based on the experience of PaperOffice Stealth and the accumulated knowledge of 13 years of office and field work.
The new PaperOffice goes to the drawing board for the first time.
PaperOffice 2018
The completely redeveloped PaperOffice is ready and combines for the first time in 16 years ALL available technologies in just one PaperOffice software.
State of the art technologies like Node.js and the V8 Engine bring high tech to everyone. Gone are the days where high performance SQL databases had to be painstakingly installed and set up. The new PaperOffice is the first version that is completely ready to use out-of-the-box, without the hassle of administration.
The new PaperOffice raises the bar to an unprecedented level and guarantees absolute future security.
PaperOffice wins:QNAP chooses PaperOffice exclusively and worldwide.
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 worldwide with more than 6 million devices. PaperOffice works with the most popular NAS devices, including the manufacturer QNAP.
PaperOffice is the world's only authorized provider of document management systems for QNAP NAS.
COVID19 shapes PaperOffice 2020 into the ideal HomeOffice DMS
Digitization must advance as fast as possible to make working and accessing all documents as easy and secure as possible also from the HomeOffice.
By bundling all development resources, PaperOffice will become the perfect all-rounder virtually overnight, allowing people to continue working even in the home office.
Perfectly prepared:Since PaperOffice includes all the advantages of a cloud from the outset, but without a third-party cloud, strict requirements such as GOBD and DSGVO are met without additional work.
Digitization at the speed of light thanks to new in-house funding
Due to the immense demand for PaperOffice and the collapsing liquidity, we are reaching out to the business community and enabling the DMS acquisition completely unbureaucratically through in-house financing.
just changed everything
Through our experience we have learned in 2020 what is really important and what will help you in the best possible way.
So that everyone with little means can now continue and use the digital advantages: Every new PaperOffice Team license now automatically includes PaperOffice PLUS for 6 months and can be financed unbureaucratically.
