Archive Consultancy

Business has always relied on being able to access its records, data and information resources swiftly and efficiently.

The use of computers was expected to make this more simple and rigorous, however that was back in the days when we dreamed of a paperless office. As we chuckle over our latte at the very idea of LESS paper in the office, we also find ourselves beset with CDs, DVDs, discs, hard-drives and plug-ins of every description.

The task of knowing what we have, where it is and what format it is stored in becomes more complicated every year. Labelling and organisation challenge the most focused of us. But when it comes to what to save for the future and how to do so, we often find we need some advice.

As we gather more and more information, particularly through the use of modern technology, there is a greater need to understand the importance of proper archiving. How do we make sure that our stored records, in whatever medium, are going to survive? What strategies do we need to employ to ensure that our data remains intact in the years to come?

At ASAT we have looked carefully into this subject, and can offer advice on the most economic and viable solutions. If we are unsure of the answer we have broad base of contacts to assist us. We can also offer advice on the restoration and preservation of valuable materials or artifacts - from photographs to film, video and all magnetic media.
