When institutions require a partner to help them to embrace the challenge of socializing their hundreds of thousands of legacy archive carriers, they face many challenges: ATR/VTR availability, knowledge gaps in handling historical formats, concerns to have excessive lack in efficient processes, and fear never to see the good apples, while always having to eat the bad ones. Digitization service providers have appeared and disappeared on the market, chasing large seven digits OPEX budgets – but meanwhile clients have realized: It is about the most elementary and most simple things one has to provide: A reliable workbench. Knowledge. Good Training. Players and spare parts. Project management support. Simple commercial off-the-shelf hardware. A stable long-term database repository, which can be integrated into existing production workflows. Well documented workflows which reduce OPEX cost.
And not just a service provider.
All of that is available when partnering with NOA on CAPEX solutions for archives: the NOA product families ingestLINE, actLINE, jobDB, mediARC, and PICO together with experienced advice on long term strategies when choosing an appropriate storage technology platform. Our recent success in the market with light entry solutions as well as large scale installations (Sharjah, Abu
Dhabi, Hungary, Jamaica, Austria, Romania, Finland, etc.) is one of the proofs that we are on the right track.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank our customers as well as the great NOA team for the past and future journey – we are eager to continue to help you in your archive preservation and socializing tasks which lie ahead.
