Lawson M3 Document Archive Foundation enables M3 customers to store all business documents connected to Lawson M3 and make them immediately available in the Lawson User interface (M3 Workplace or Smart Office). This document archive solution is compliant to companies' business rules.

This solution saves customers time and cost in searching for documents previously stored in an un-structured, non-digital format. M3 DAF dramatically reduces the time it takes to find critical business documents. DAF is totally secure.
