Can your archiving system meet all these requirements? Is it cost-efficient and energy-efficient? Does it have secure storage media, virus protection, and reliable long-term storage solutions? Can it digitize, store, recycle, and re-use 13/15 mm film and tape material? Can it be linked to an overarching MAM system? Is this planned or was this already implemented?

These and other questions should preferably be discussed with an experienced partner like BFE. We have extensive expertise in the design, implementation, and support of digital archives.
