Capture  | 
To begin the cycle, the documents must be captured.  |

Index & Store  | 
To keep captured documents organized, secure and easy to find, the next step is to index and store them in pVault®.  | 
|
Retrieve  | 
Once indexed and stored, users will need to retrieve documents during their daily routines.  |

Use  | 
Once retrieved, there are many ways to actually "use" these documents.  |

Archive  | 
Documents that are no longer used are archived to speed up searching and retrieving of "active" documents.  |

Dispose  | 
Once legal retention time limits are met, or documents no longer have a business use, documents can be removed.  |
