DataServ approaches each client relationship as a strategic partner, offering our services to help you meet your business objectives

The Certified Document Imaging Architech (CDIA+T)
The CDIA+ certification is the first global standard of competency and professionalism in the document imaging/document management industry. It validates a professional's level of expertise in the technologies and best practices used to plan, design, and specify a document imaging/management system.

A pioneer in Software as a Service (SaaS), DataServ reduces your expenses and delivers more control and visibility of your Document-centric™ processes throughout your organization— immediately impacting your bottom line.

Founded in 1994, our experience in the field of SaaS Electronic Document Management (EDM) provides you with a unique perspective and understanding of the complete P2P, Q2C, and H2R transaction cycles and all of the documents within each. The complete transaction cycle reflects every facet of a document's full lifecycle within your organization—where a document originates, who needs access to which documents or reference the document, how frequently access is needed and by whom, and where that document is ultimately archived.
