More than 35 years of experience
Expertise gained in information management and the optimization of document-related processes.
EVERIAL Canada conducts an assessment of your records management practices. Our experts analyze your records, data, processes, tools, and associated responsibilities. They also examine volumes, usage patterns, technical constraints, and key risks.
This assessment helps measure your level of maturity and identify priority actions.
Based on the assessment, we work with you to define a governance framework aligned with your objectives. It harmonizes your document management policies with your processes and your digital environment.
Depending on your needs, this framework may include a records management policy, a filing plan, a retention schedule, and access rules. It also specifies responsibilities, retention periods, and the disposition of records.
We support you in reengineering your processes, selecting the right tools, and integrating them with your business applications or mission-critical systems.
Our experts can work with your teams to explain decisions, train users, and facilitate the adoption of new practices. This support promotes gradual change and a lasting transfer of skills.
Your documents are shared among multiple teams, tools, and storage locations. Without common document management policies, searches become more complicated, practices vary, and compliance becomes harder to demonstrate.
Responsibilities related to the creation, approval, retention, and destruction of documents are not clearly assigned.
Classification rules, metadata, and version management vary by service.
You have few reliable metrics on volumes, usage, and bottlenecks.
Policies, procedures, and retention rules are incomplete, scattered, or rarely enforced.
An EDM system or a new tool is deployed without a governance framework or change management support.
An assessment allows you to evaluate your level of maturity, identify priorities, and develop a roadmap tailored to your operational constraints.
Whether you want to implement an EDM system, modernize your tools, or automate a process, our support helps clarify your needs, responsibilities, and the target workflow before the solution is deployed.
Your documents are spread across multiple systems, shared spaces, and storage locations. An assessment helps identify duplicates, classification discrepancies, and practices that need to be standardized as a priority.
Your organization needs to better manage access to, retention of, and sharing of its information. We help you establish consistent rules based on usage patterns, sensitivity levels, and the requirements that apply to your business.
Validations, searches, and transfers take up too much time. Our experts map out the current workflow, identify unnecessary steps, and define a simpler, more streamlined process.
Organizations that manage large volumes of documents or sensitive information must meet several requirements. They must make information accessible, protect data, comply with their obligations, and ensure business continuity.
Our support takes into account the processes, constraints, and level of criticality specific to each sector.

Standardized classification and search methods make it easier for authorized individuals to access documents.
The rules governing access, security, retention, and confidentiality are more clearly defined and enforced.
Each team understands its role in the creation, approval, retention, and destruction of documents.
Training, change management, and skills transfer empower your teams.
The approach takes into account the tools and systems already in use by your organization. Our experts work with your teams to define the rules for management, access, retention, transfer, and traceability to be applied in each environment.

Security depends as much on governance rules as it does on the tools used. Our support helps your organization integrate protection, traceability, and compliance into its daily practices.
Information governance encompasses the rules, responsibilities, procedures, and tools put in place to manage an organization’s documents and data. It governs their creation, access, use, retention, and final disposition, whether they are in paper or electronic form. In practical terms, it helps companies secure their information, comply with applicable legal requirements, and make their document management practices more efficient.
Information governance covers all of an organization’s information, whether it is contained in documents, databases, business applications, or collaboration tools. It defines responsibilities, access rules, usage policies, security, and retention policies.
Document governance focuses more on managing documents throughout their lifecycle: creation, filing, access, retention, archiving, and final disposition. It is therefore a component of information governance.
A records audit analyzes how an organization creates, files, uses, shares, retains, and disposes of its records. Depending on its scope, it examines files, procedures, management tools, responsibilities, access rules, and archiving policies.
It helps identify risks, gaps, and best practices, and then set concrete priorities to secure information, save time, and improve document efficiency.
No. Document governance can be established before, during, or after the implementation of an EDM system. Its primary purpose is to clarify responsibilities, procedures, filing systems, access rights, and document retention.
When a company is considering implementing an EDM system, this framework helps clarify its functional requirements and select a suitable solution. If a system is already in use, this guidance helps review its management rules and usage practices to improve its efficiency.
Depending on the scope of the engagement, deliverables may include a maturity assessment, process mapping, a target governance model, and an action plan. They may also include a records management policy, procedures, a filing plan, a retention schedule, or access guidelines.
Monitoring indicators, a practical guide, and training materials can be included in the service to facilitate the implementation of the recommendations and measure their effectiveness.
The duration depends on the scope, the number of processes being analyzed, the systems involved, and the organization’s maturity. A targeted assessment can be completed in a few weeks. Defining a governance model and implementing procedures can take several months.
The project can also be rolled out gradually, starting with the most critical issues. This approach makes it possible to achieve concrete results and save time without having to wait until the entire project is complete.
Adoption is based on simple rules, clear responsibilities, and procedures tailored to the realities of the workplace. Teams must understand the purpose of the changes, their role, and the expected benefits.
Training, internal communication, and user engagement facilitate implementation. Monitoring metrics and regular feedback then make it possible to measure the effectiveness of these practices and adjust them gradually.
