When access to a file is required, CBF IT department can provide access to digitally authenticated files. The digital workflow integrated with Piql enables the pro tection and preservation of all legal documents and historical media assets, and files may be retrieved by any authorized user of the CBF IT infrastructure. “Piql’s technology is like carving data in stone, piql Film is a robust and migration-free medium that protects our data from any form of cyberattack and at the same time guarantees future access. “ Fernando Fran ҫ a , Director of IT, CBF “ Piql has enabled CBF to preserve the memories of our world class Champions and protect the rights of all athletes and staff that form the football community in Brazil.

every game. The CBF workflow integrates all types of documents and allows access to state level entities as well as to individuals. PROBLEM Integrating CBF’s paper, microfiche and born-digital files into a transparent environment is a challenge. Some of the storage medium require digitization, and the metadata has varied over time and must be ad justed to modern-day requirements. As an example, when an athlete retires, the information generated during his career must be securely stored to ensure all rights are protected. As full retirement happens many years after players retire from the field, documents are usually stored in various formats that need to be digi tized and integrated with CBF’s IT infrastructure. CBF legacy files stored in analog form on microfiche require special attention as access is needed on a daily basis for former players and staff that are now reaching the age of retirement. The IT department is also undergoing major infrastructure changes to im plement paperless workflows for all football related activities in Brazil in compliance with ISO 14721 and regulations from National Legislation. SOLUTION CBF was interested in Piql’s technology because of its ability to preserve files for the long-term. The initial plan was to implement the technology for their his torical documents. However, after tests and technical and legal discussions, CBF’s IT department understood that Piql’s technology would also enable nationwide digitization of all football related workflows as well as legal compliance for information preservation. Piql was awarded a service and consulting contract to digitize analog documentation and to implement an OAIS-compliant digital workflow. Microfiche and paper documents are digitized, pro cessed for OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and authenticated with digital signature. CBF’s cloud in frastructure is integrated with Piql, so files are easily transferred electronically for preservation and physi cal storage at the Arctic World Archive. Piql provides all services related to digitization and IT integration, including the installation of digitizing equipment within CBF headquarters in Rio de Janei ro and implementation of a workflow that enables access to the CBF Cloud integrated with Piql Arctic World Archive from any soccer stadium in Brazil.
