ELO eRecords vs IG Central

ELO eRecords manages digital documents, files, and cases, including email associated with a case. Search tools help users locate records and related information. Workflows support signing, reminders, and collaboration between departments organized around a department or case. A feed allows comments, posts, and subscriptions for records, files, and cases. Dashboards include reminders and deadline functions, while automatic reports present structured information in different views. Permissions and access rights protect confidential data, which is retained according to legal retention periods. ELO says its public administration solution meets the requirements of Germany’s E-Government Act. Business examples include construction, patient, supplier, and customer files, and employees can access records remotely when away from the office. ELO eRecords is listed with hybrid deployment; the wider ELO ECM Suite, which includes ELO business solutions, is offered as cloud, hybrid, or on-premises. The product is available on Android, iOS, web, and Windows. Pricing is on request. ELO business partners support customers with onboarding and planning and implementing digitalization projects.

IG Central is a self-hosted, single-tenant governance engine for classifying, governing, and searching enterprise content where it already resides. It runs inside the customer’s environment and does not require data migration. Its drill-down LLM classification follows a records taxonomy and extracts typed metadata, sensitivity, and personally identifiable information. The platform enforces retention schedules, supports disposition workflows and policy application, and provides enterprise-wide search, an embedded document viewer, and governance review workflows. Users can inspect classifications, prompts, metadata, and outcomes, then correct classifications; those corrections feed MCP tools for ongoing model refinement. A transactional outbox tracks state changes and is described as crash-safe and fully auditable. Content can arrive through uploads or connected cloud services. Google Drive is available today, while additional connectors are planned. The maker says processing stays inside the customer’s network without public-AI dependency. Pricing is on request.
