Generis CARA
London, United Kingdom
What it is
Generis CARA is a content and data platform for organizations in compliance-driven industries. It combines document and records management with process automation, using configurable lifecycles, workflows, versioning, metadata, audit trails, and granular security. Multi-step workflows can automate lifecycle actions, apply conditional outcomes, and record user actions. CARA can generate templated documents and PDFs, extract document data, and assemble documents from controlled components and approved content. Named integrations include Google Suite, Office 365, Salesforce, Slack, and DocuSign; Generis describes the platform as REST API driven. Its mobile apps for iOS and Android support search, document management, and workflows. Organizations can choose single- or multi-tenant Generis AWS Cloud hosting or self-hosting. For the cloud enterprise platform, Generis lists encryption, managed detection and response, anti-malware, private subnet isolation, and geographically separate backup replication. The company says its security framework aligns with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and that the cloud enterprise platform receives annual independent penetration testing. Plans start at £65/user/mo; volume discounts are available. External collaborators require paid accounts in Core, Professional, and Enterprise.
