Preservation of Digital Knowledge is Focus of New Web Site
"As more and more critical information is created digitally, policies are essential to help ensure safekeeping of that 'digital knowledge'," said Andy Lawrence, marketing manager for the Commercial Imaging Group's Imagelink business. "New regulations are allowing both public and private enterprises to take advantage of new technologies that produce electronic records. The importance of managing these electronic records as evidence of transaction, intellectual property or regulatory compliance is a growing concern," he added.
The new site contains a cross-section of information that is intended to help corporate and information technology officers make policy decisions regarding their reference archives. A wide selection of case studies is available that crosses various vertical markets, including federal and state and local government. These studies show how public and private enterprises have been dealing with the need to manage and maintain the integrity of digital records for immediate reference as well as for archiving purposes.
