Web Archiving Services

Corporations, government agencies and institutions are increasingly required to produce website content in their native format for intelligence, records management and other applications. Traditional methods of printing to paper or PDF, website copiers, and file archives such as backups, are questionable in terms of their authenticity and usefulness. In addition, these forms of retention fail to collect and preserve the hyperlinks, website structure, playable media, and texts associated with websites in their native form.

Archive Policy

The implementation of a thorough Web archiving policy is essential to a corporation's legal and regulatory responsibilities for content published on their website, intranet, company blogs and wikis. A web archiving solution brings the following benefits:

• Eliminates dependencies on complex publishing environments and technical architectures, such as database, content management and publishing software.
• Manages retention and access policies independent of operational systems. E-discovery can be done without impact on current operations and services.
• Guarantees authenticity of content archived using digital signatures and robust time-stamping, ensuring consistency in an inconstant environment.
• Enables capture to be performed from any computer with Web access – there is no need for privileged access to any CMS or other back-end server.
• Enables the archiving function to be centralised in one place regardless of the location of the servers and the technology used.
• Lets hosting and operations of the web archiving process and archives to be done in-house or outsourced, as archiving tools can be operated remotely.

Web archiving is a relatively new technology, commonly used by national libraries around the world for collecting web publications on a very large scale. The early technology was based on search engines and web crawlers and over the last 5-7 years has progressed rapidly, developing its own specific technology.
