End-to-end performance of the StorLife Compliant Archive has also been significantly improved. Enhancements to the archive and database engine result in a 5 times improvement in the processing speed of document archival and retrieval. SoftCo10.5 also incorporates significant UI enhancements, advances in the underlying platform architecture, important security enhancements and a new SoftCo Knowledge Hub with instant access to essential user information and training guide videos.
