What is digital preservation?
Digital preservation is all about making sure you can always quickly find, view, use and trust your digital content and records over decades or forever. This means going beyond simply storing your files to making sure they are maintained in a file format that you can instantly view and use no matter what application they were originally created in.
Preservica is a market leader in active digital preservation and the most trusted Digital Preservation platform on the market. Starter relies on Preservica’s state-of-the-art platform to bring DP best practice to all Starter users. The platform is aligned to OAIS or Open Archival Information System. OAIS refers to the Reference Model that was developed for use in facilitating a broad, discipline independent, consensus on the requirements for an archive or repository to provide long-term, preservation of digital information.
The OAIS Reference Model became the official ISO 14721 Standard in 2002, and a 2nd edition was published in 2012.
Learn more by watching our short Digital Preservation video.
Why can’t I just use Dropbox, Google Drive, CONTENTdm, Backup, SharePoint or a DAM to preserve my content?
Unlike traditional backup, cloud storage, collections management or DAM systems that simply store your files, Preservica Starter has been designed from the ground-up to ensure your files can be quickly found, viewed and trusted over decades.
In particular, this means maintaining files in formats that can always be viewed and used no matter what application they were originally created in.
