Slides from my presentation given as part of the
DPC Procuring Digital Preservation Briefing in Edinburgh.
- Introduction
- DP is more than just technology...TRAC gives you a good list of considerations.
- Why DIY? Mainly about control and risk management.
- Not Really DIY! Most of your components are bought in anyway.
- A couple of quotes Better to not go it alone. So we're really talking open source rather than home-grown-from-scratch solutions.
- Creative Destruction Whips through Corporate America Corporate lifetimes are decreasing, expect to migrate external providers increasingly often!
- Why preserve? Use cases Compliance archiving vs corporate memory.
- Procuring communities instead of vendors In the end, the processes are not so different
- Levels of engagement The value of open source lies in the community which relies on contribution.
- Revisiting the idea of Corporate Memory This really needs an entire presentation in its own right - essentially it is about knowledge rather than objects.
