Digital Archiving and Information Services

Value

Value of Digital Archiving and Preservation

The Digital Archiving value is widespread, immediate and measurable. Our solutions are based on user requirements, archival
standards and best practice, and they are informed by professional experience. We add significant value by ensuring longevity, access and security for

  • digital assets preservation and lifecycle management
  • archival workflows and procedures
  • long-term strategic planning
  • access copies and preservation masters, and
  • providing access internally or externally through a portal.

While trusted digital repositories provide great benefits across different departments at most institutions, we have learned it is critical to work closely with a designated community of users. This allows us to gain a clear understanding of the content, users and usages. These interactions make it easier to define needs, identify priorities and develop relevant use cases and appropriate budgets, timelines and solutions. This feedback also helps ensure success based on functional requirements and user experience.

Further, an archive built on standards is easy to integrate with other archival management systems. By choosing an appropriate classification system, description will be standardized. This helps make connections between related items.

An archive can also add efficiencies for users who are outside the designated community.  With this in mind, we focus on practical, task-oriented solutions. The use cases help identify immediate priorities; it helps outline the path to a solution.
