Every year on November 7, the world celebrates World Digital Preservation Day, a moment to reflect on the importance of protecting and maintaining access to information over time.
In an era where digital transformation moves faster than ever, preserving knowledge has become a priority for both organizations and society as a whole.
At METRICA, we see digital preservation as a shared responsibility and a key part of our commitment to innovation, technological sustainability, and efficient information management.
What Does Digital Preservation Mean?
Digital preservation goes far beyond creating backups or storing data in the cloud. It’s about ensuring that files, documents, and technological resources remain readable, secure, and accessible over time, even as systems or formats evolve.
An effective digital preservation strategy involves planning, standardization, and continuous updates to prevent knowledge from being lost or becoming obsolete.
5 Reasons to Prioritize Digital Preservation
1️⃣ Long-term access to information
Ensures that today’s data and documents remain available and usable in the future.
2️⃣ Prevention of technological obsolescence
Protects information from being lost due to software, hardware, or storage format changes.
3️⃣ Enhanced security and authenticity
Shields digital assets from cyber threats or unintended modifications, maintaining their integrity.
4️⃣ Boost to innovation and research
Facilitates access to reliable, reusable information that can drive new developments and discoveries.
5️⃣ Preserving our digital legacy
Helps safeguard the technological, cultural, and scientific memory of our time.
METRICA’s Commitment to Technological Sustainability
At METRICA, we believe that preserving the digital world means moving forward responsibly, ensuring that the knowledge we create today can continue to inspire the innovations of tomorrow.
Our commitment to sustainable digital transformation drives us to develop solutions that guarantee data continuity, promote transparency in information management, and reduce environmental impact through more efficient technologies.
To preserve, to innovate, and to share — these are the keys to a safer, more open, and more enduring digital future 🌍💡
