## The panel's verdict

Comarch ECM is a document-management product the bench could judge from page titles rather than product documentation. Its strongest area is capture: the vendor publishes pages on OCR and on XRechnung e-invoicing in Germany, and capture and indexing drew the highest single score recorded, 3. That is also where the judges split most — scores range 0 to 3, some crediting that capture is publicly addressed, others declining to count page titles as evidence of a pipeline. Document workflows scored 0 to 2, mostly 2, on a Comarch Workflow product page and pages on EDI implementation. Weakest are versioning and permissions and search and portability, both 0 to 0: the judges found no public information on version history, access rights, audit logs, search, or any documented export of documents, metadata and audit trail. Audit-proof archiving reached 0 to 1, its captures being regulatory news on Italy and Germany rather than product statements. Sovereignty scored 0 to 1: the only confirmed fact is that Comarch SA is the administrator of your data. No public prices appear on any captured page.

**Speaks for it:**
- Vendor publishes pages on OCR and on XRechnung e-invoicing in Germany, so capture is publicly addressed.
- A Comarch Workflow product page and pages on EDI implementation via web or integration exist.
- The GDPR policy names Comarch SA as the administrator of your data.
- Capture and indexing drew the highest single score recorded for this product, 3.

**Held against it:**
- We found no public information on version history, check-in and check-out, role- or record-level rights, single sign-on or any audit log.
- We found no public information on search, mobile access, or a documented export of documents with metadata, versions and audit trail.
- The captured archiving pages are regulatory news on Italian and German e-document rules, not product documentation.
- Beyond the administrator's name, we found no public information on data residency, ownership, a subprocessor list or where any AI processing runs.
- No public prices appear on any captured page.

**Best for:**
- You are comparing vendors for OCR capture and German XRechnung e-invoicing and value a vendor that publicly addresses these topics.
- You are shortlisting for workflow and EDI integration and plan to verify the detail in demos and sales conversations.
- You are comfortable sourcing capability details and every price through sales or partner conversations.

**Avoid if:**
- You need version history, access rights and audit logging documented before a system can enter evaluation.
- You must show a tax auditor or Steuerberater public evidence of immutable archiving and retention settings.
- You need a documented export of documents, metadata, versions and audit trail for contract end or migration.
- You need data residency, ownership and the subprocessor chain documented before a data-protection review.

## Scores by judge and criterion

Too little public evidence to rate, so no stars are given. The judges' reasoning is on the canonical page.

### The judges

- **The GoBD Auditor** (v1.0): Has sat through tax audits on the company side and knows that "GoBD-konform" on a homepage proves nothing. Wants the auditor's Testat with its scope and date, archived documents that cannot change, retention per document type, and a Z3 export the tax office can read.
- **The Records Manager** (v1.0): Owns the filing plan and gets the call when a contract from 2019 cannot be found. Wants metadata that is set at capture rather than typed later, version history with restore, search that respects permissions, and a bulk export that keeps metadata and versions together.
- **The IT Integrator** (v1.0): Connects the DMS to the ERP, DATEV and Microsoft 365 and maintains it afterwards. Wants connectors with a stated scope rather than a logo wall, a documented API with webhooks, single sign-on, and a migration path in and out that does not depend on the vendor's services team.
- **The Mittelstand Owner** (v1.0): Runs a forty-person company and wants the paper out of the office and the invoices approved without chasing anyone. Reads for e-invoice intake, an approval workflow that works without a consultant, and a price for users, storage and modules before the partner visit, not after.
- **The Data Protection Officer** (v1.0): Knows the DMS ends up holding personnel files, health certificates and customer contracts in one place. Asks where the cloud edition stores them, which AI provider reads them during capture, who the subprocessors are, and how GDPR deletion is reconciled with retention duties.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has read "revisionssicher" on every DMS homepage and a Testat on almost none. Distrusts "AI-powered capture" without a validation step, "seamless SAP integration" without a scope, and "no vendor lock-in" from a vendor that documents no export — and treats "price on request from your partner" as an answer.
