File storage options and technology selection for accounting software

[michaelz23]

Hi guys, I did read a lot but still have not find the optimum way of storing files and keeping the contents available for BI and DeepLearning feeds.

I got an accounting form as customer. They want to store files from their clients (invoices...). We will use OCR combined with manual classification and deep learning to automate the data extraction. This means, the files need to be accessible as we constantly have to check them for matches, once we learned a new format. So what we need is a fast, secure access.

What do you think is the best way of storing those files? We also need maximum temper-prove and secure of course. J

Ah, and as add-on question: What technology / blockchains would you be using for such a project?

Don't use a blockchain. It's not just a magic thing that magically makes all of your problems go away. A blockchain may be secure (it also could not, depending on how it is implemented), but it certainly is not fast.

I would recommend an inexpensive server. Also implement Quickbooks in some way. The above post is right, Blockchains in their current state are too dang slow.
