Digital Preservation

If your organization is concerned about the performance of born digital or magnetic media that must be archived for more than 20 years, Midwest Micro Imaging has a cost effective, proven method of converting digital formats to a long-lasting, reliable medium. When correctly processed and stored, the ISO/ANSI-certified microfilm will be readable for up to 500 years.

By writing digital media, such as scanned images or ASCII text, to microfilm using Kodak's Archive Writer technology, you can be assured that true lifetime records will be available for decades. Magnetic media has been known to deteriorate over time and technological migration is always an issue. Also, the storage and back up of data over time is costly.

Once the retrieval rate for digital records becomes low or even inactive, they can be purged from the system and produced on microfilm for long term storage as required by law or company policy. This can be done with little or no maintenance except the proper environmental storage conditions for microfilm (i.e. temperature and humidity controlled).

This digital insurance for your information is the most efficient, reliable and cost effective tool available in records management.
