Our Insight Online Data Back-up systems, though a fairly mature concept in much

of the developed world, is still in its infancy in India. Though the need for on-the-go online data back-up is being

increasingly felt by an increasingly data-heavy industry, there are few providers in the Indian market.

Rocklike DMS addresses this growing need for cost effective, authentic and highly secure online data backup system. Keeping in mind the needs of the customers, we have devised a system to store, update, maintain, and share data in a very user friendly way.

The uniqueness of this system lies in its ability to maintain transparency in communication which give users the basic information about each document as to when and who created the same.
