THE CHALLENGE

BENEFITS

The public sector holds large volumes of valuable documents, maps and reg- istries that need to be kept safely for extended periods of time. Many organ- isations continue to rely on paper storage, although the sheer volume of data presents significant management challenges, including searchability and recov- erability. Governments and authorities are often required to safeguard their information upwards of 15 years, with some data kept indefinitely. Blueprints of buildings and city infrastructure are typical examples of information that has been kept for decades and even centuries. Large formats refer to a wide range of international standards and reference charts, including specific formats used for architectural and engineering pur- poses, blueprints and CAD drawings. Digitising these archival items will provide significant benefits including reduced cost, greater accessibility, searchability and preservation for the future.

• Increased accessibility and searchability from rich metadata

• Decreased risk of data loss

• Reduction of physical space requirements

• Cost-effective long-term storage solution.
