In response to enormous demand, registration has opened today for the DPC’s ‘Procuring Digital Preservation – A Briefing’ event, which is to be held at the National Records of Scotland, New Register House on Tuesday 21st March.
The Digital Preservation Coalition is delighted to host a briefing day that will explore themes related to procuring and implementing digital preservation solutions within complicated organisations, illustrated with case studies from members
and the practical experience of solution providers.
“Selecting and deploying solutions is challenging enough in well-established business processes,” explains Executive Director of the DPC, William Kilbride, “but where the processes are new, or where the available resource to support procurement
is stretched, moving from project to ‘business as usual’ can be hard and a complicated procurement process is bound to cause delays and confusion.”
This day-long session will provide a neutral forum where those involved in procuring digital preservation solutions can talk directly and without prejudice about the challenges they face. The dialogue that results aims to clarify the process
of requirements gathering and lower the barriers to effective procurement.
Registration is free for DPC members, and cost £275.00 for non-members. Places are strictly limited and should be booked in advance. Registration will close one week before the event and early booking is recommended as we expect it to be
popular.
