Hanzo will present two new products
Hanzoweb v2 will be the first, publicly available, continuous web archiving service that you, the public, control. Building on the initial release from earlier in the year, we have changed the core of the application and incorporated a new crawler with a number of unique capabilities that are a critical for building a continuous archiving system. We will present the product, describe the new crawler, our RSS archiving capabilities and our preservation strategy. Hanzoweb is available as a service online and we invite attendees to sign up for free and begin their part in capturing the worlds digital wonders for future generations. Hanzoweb will also be available as a white-label product for institutions who wish to run their own archiving services.Secondly, we will present our new product for Enterprise archiving. Hanzo Enterprise has been designed to provide the ability to capture an organisations digital output and retain it in accordance with their commercial needs and regulatory compliance requirements. We will demonstrate the user interface for the product which streamlines the archiving workflow to meet these specific needs. We will outline the main drivers behind this product, from regulatory needs to corporate memory and heritage.We look forward to seeing you there.
