Why Preservation?

Keeping digital content usable is a complex and
on-going process:

STORAGE IS NOT SECURE.
Preservation is more than just storage – hard drives crash, files are destroyed, lost, or hacked.

DIGITAL BITS DEGRADE AND BECOME UNUSABLE OVER TIME.

FORMATS AND SOFTWARE ARE VULNERABLE TO OBSOLESCENCE.

Software and file relationship dependencies are proprietary, putting future access to digital content
at risk.

DIGITAL BEDROCK FOCUSES ON PRESERVING THE CONTENT EMBODIED IN A DIGITAL OBJECT.

According to the American Library Association:
“Digital preservation combines policies, strategies and actions to ensure the accurate rendering of authenticated content over time, regardless of the challenges of media failure and technological change. Digital preservation applies to both born digital and reformatted content.” – ALA

Digital Bedrock is a partner in your organization's overall strategy, actively monitoring digital content to protect its bit integrity and notifying you of any obsolescence vulnerabilities. No other company offers this monitoring.
