Spark Archives is a records-archiving system (système d'archivage électronique, SAE) for electronic, physical and hybrid archives. The company offers two editions: SAFE Easy, a ready-to-use SaaS archive, and SAFE & Plus, a configurable edition available as SaaS or on-premise. The system is used to centralise, classify, preserve over the long term and trace documents, with connectors to document-management source systems. According to the vendor, it targets sectors such as healthcare, banking and insurance, industry and public administration.
Spark Archives is a French company with its registered office in Le Plessis-Robinson; its website presents Klee Group as the group it belongs to. According to the vendor, its SaaS runs in three separate data centres in the Paris region, is operated exclusively by its own teams and is therefore subject only to French law. Customers can alternatively run the software on-premise or on a public cloud of their choice, optionally with their own key management through an S3 connector. For European organisations with archiving duties, this means a clear jurisdiction and a choice of hosting; ask the vendor about sub-processors.
