A document platform at national scale — 1.3 billion records

The challenge

A technologically obsolete archiving system had become a source of systemic risk: archiving a single document could take up to 10 working days, and the records were difficult to secure, search, or legally certify.

The ministry needed a platform that could hold over a billion documents and still stay fast, governed, and affordable to run — for 30,000+ users across local, regional, and national offices.

Our approach

Delivered through the Preux network on our compliance-ready application framework — integrated data, workflow orchestration, and automated deployment, proven over a decade in government production. The replacement was in production within 12 months.

Built to handle extreme load — up to 2,000 documents a second with automatic extraction — with audit trails and role-based access part of the platform, not bolted on after the fact.

Outcomes

  • 1.3 billion documents under management, ingested at up to 2,000 a second
  • Archiving that once took up to 10 working days now completes instantly
  • 30,000+ users with instant search, full traceability, and legal compliance built in
