Because of the amount of business documentation in companies, the introduction of the electronic safekeeping of documents has become very important for maintaining a competitive position. The purpose of the Graduation Thesis was to study the common characteristics of different examples of implementation of electronic archiving in Slovenian companies and to propose solutions for the electronic safekeeping of documents in the timber industry. In the study we performed a survey which included 24 companies, and two interviews. We also studied the common characteristics of several cases of restoring electronic safekeeping in other Slovenian companies in the timber industry. Among other things, we found out that the time needed for the implementation of an electronic archive is on average six months. In 70 % of the companies, electronic safekeeping is connected to other applications of the information system and in more than 85 % the equipment for the electronic archive runs on physical servers. The companies use the electronic archives for all types of business documentation, however mostly for invoices. The process of archiving and the safekeeping of the documents must be in accordance with the legislation in this field. Most companies judge the implementation of electronic archives as positive.
