Full ECM depth on modern architecture.
TeamSync's Enterprise Document Management capability provides everything legacy ECMs do — versioning, check-in/check-out, document types, custom metadata, retention rules, legal hold, multi-decade record retention — and adds the modern architecture that legacy ECMs cannot retrofit: ACL-aware AI, Merkle audit, crypto-shred, cloud-portable storage, real-time co-editing.

Frequently asked questions.
Is this the same as Intelligent Repository?
EDM is a feature set; Intelligent Repository is the metadata-first design that powers it. EDM exposes the legacy-ECM-familiar UI (folders, versioning) over the metadata-first model.
Does TeamSync support DoD 5015.02?
The records-management features align with DoD 5015.02 expectations; formal certification is on the FY27 roadmap.
Multi-decade retention for IATF 16949 / AS9100?
Yes. Retention up to 30+ years; storage tiered to cold storage as documents age; the audit ledger remains cryptographically verifiable.
