IDS Archiving is a complete system that handles all the functions needed for the archives of newspapers and documentation centers. The system stores all types of information (paper clips, scanned images, texts, video, sound, files, etc.) and provides users with friendly tools for documentation and archiving, maintenance, and retrieval.

Archive is a true Arabic system. Menus, screens, help screens, and reports are all in Arabic and system functions are specifically designed to handle the Arabic language during data entry, search, and retrieval. For instance, the IDS search engine allows for search in word roots, which is a valuable feature if one is to consider the many different transformations Arabic words undergo.
