Archiv-IT — French Document Management Platform
Archiv-IT is a French document management provider offering the Multigest GED platform for document digitization, electronic archiving, and document management.
Overview
Headquartered in Limas, France with an additional agency in Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne, Archiv-IT provides document lifecycle management services combining digital and physical solutions through its Multigest GED (Gestion Electronique de Documents) platform — a collaborative, 100% web-based SaaS system adaptable across industries and organizational structures.
The company operates within a broader European records management landscape that is consolidating rapidly. Archive-IT Group — a separate but related entity operating under the archive-it.eu domain — acquired Novodoc in February 2026, absorbing the Erkelenz-based German archiving and digitisation specialist with 40+ years of operating history. Novodoc was rebranded under the Archive-IT name as of 2 February 2026. CEO Paul de Meulemeester framed the deal as part of a sustained growth trajectory: "This acquisition fits perfectly into our growth strategy and enables us to serve our customers even better." The move signals a buy-and-integrate model — acquiring established regional specialists, consolidating them under a unified brand, and cross-selling the group's technology stack to inherited customer bases. Financial terms were not disclosed, and which specific platform technologies are being offered to Novodoc's customers remains unnamed.
How Archiv-IT Processes Documents
The Multigest GED platform serves as Archiv-IT's collaborative web-based document management system, adaptable across all industries through its SaaS architecture. The platform combines OCR-enabled scanning services with format conversion capabilities, processing Adobe PDF, Microsoft Office documents, images, text files, compressed archives, and audio/video files.
Archiv-IT integrates electronic archiving with digital document storage and retrieval, while maintaining secure physical storage for documents requiring legal preservation in original form. The system coordinates secure destruction of documents at end-of-life according to retention policies, supported by audit and training services for document management consulting and user onboarding.

Public sector entities deploy Archiv-IT for comprehensive records management. The system digitizes incoming documents with OCR processing, manages electronic document workflows through the collaborative web platform, maintains physical archives for legal documents, and coordinates secure destruction of documents at end-of-life according to retention policies.
