Kicking Off 2026: Celebrating 30 Years of DocTech & DocuWare | DocTech

Written by Laura Bulmer | Monday Jan 19, 2026

As we step into 2026, there’s a real buzz across DocTech and for very good reason. This year marks a major milestone for us: 30 years as a proud DocuWare partner. This follows on from our business anniversary of 40 years in 2024.

Our partnership with DocuWare is a partnership that has helped shape who we are today and one that continues to deliver incredible value to our customers.

Following the energy and momentum of a fantastic 2025, we’re not slowing down. In fact, 2026 is set to be one of our most exciting years yet.

 

A Document Management Partnership Built to Last

In 2026, we not only celebrate the unique anniversary of 30 years as a DocuWare partner. DocTech are also, for the 22nd year (since inception), recognised as Customer Service Champion, Diamond Club Member and Platinum Partner by DocuWare. These prestigious accolades are awarded to leading global DocuWare partners and we are thrilled to be flying the flag for the UK & Ireland once again.

 

Our relationship with DocuWare goes back three decades, making it one of the longest-standing and most trusted partnerships in DocuWare's and our history. Over the years, DocuWare has consistently been and remains one of our key solutions, underpinning countless digital transformation journeys for our customers.

As DocTech has grown and evolved, so too has DocuWare. Together, we’ve adapted to new technologies, changing business needs and the ever-increasing demand for smarter, more secure document management and workflow automation.

Today, we’re proud to offer a full array of DocuWare options whether that’s on-premise, cloud or hybrid solutions. This flexibility allows us to tailor the right approach for every organisation, ensuring our customers get exactly what they need, both now and in the future.

 

From Then to Now, and Beyond. DocTech – The Longest Standing UK & Ireland Partner

As we reflected in our recent anniversary celebrations, DocTech’s journey has always been about more than technology. It’s about people, partnerships and progress. Our long-standing relationship with DocuWare perfectly reflects this philosophy built on trust, shared values and a commitment to innovation.

From scanning paper documents into simple DocuWare archives to the sophisticated, AI enabled and fully integrated DocuWare Systems we support today.

Over the past 30 years, we’ve:
  • Helped organisations across a wide range of industries transform the way they manage information 
  • Supported customers through multiple generations of document management technology
  • Grown our expertise to ensure we continue delivering best-in-class solutions

 

Celebrating All Year Long

This isn’t a one-day celebration we’ll be marking our 30-year DocuWare partnership throughout the whole of 2026.

Our plans include:
  • Special events for both customers and staff, giving us the chance to celebrate together and say thank you
  • Sharing stories from the people who’ve been part of this journey, past and present
  • Showcasing innovation, success and what’s next for document management and automation (with plenty of AI thrown in)

A major highlight of the year will be DocuWorld 2026, hosted in Berlin this April. We’re hugely excited to attend, connect with the wider DocuWare community and celebrate this milestone on an international stage.

 

DocuWare Case Studies Worth Celebrating

As part of our anniversary celebrations, we’ll also be unveiling a very special collection of case studies.

These include:
  • Some of our longest-standing DocuWare customers, who have been with us for many years
  • Brand new customers, already seeing the benefits of DocuWare and DocTech expertise

What do they all have in common? They’re household names and outstanding examples of what’s possible when the right technology is delivered successfully.

These stories perfectly capture the strength, longevity and relevance of the DocTech – DocuWare relationship and the benefit of that for our clients.

 

Looking Ahead to an Exciting 2026

As we kick-start 2026, we do so with pride, gratitude and huge excitement for what’s ahead. Celebrating 30 years as a DocuWare partner is not just about looking back it’s about reaffirming our commitment to innovation, excellence and our customers.

We can’t wait to share more throughout the year, and we look forward to celebrating this incredible milestone with you.

Here’s to 30 years of partnership – and the next chapter with DocuWare.
