DOCUMENT ADMISSIBILITY

I confess I don’t possess an original work of art that’s worth insuring but I’m told that before purchasing such an item you need to check its provenance. So at least you know that the artist to whom it’s attributed did actually create it.

At the heart of Rapport’s Document Database is an in-built Audit Trail. Everything you do to a document is recorded – for ever! And each action carries a Date/Time Stamp.

So if you’re ever called upon to prove the provenance of any document with Rapport you can do just that.

To remind you about Rapport and what it includes …

And much, much more
