The Opportunities
Capture every document and protect that data with different access (security) levels, then turn that data into valuable Information which in turn will provide you with hitherto inaccessible Knowledge.
A digitised version of your livery archive has much potential. SDS City of London can take that “Raw Data” which has little intrinsic value or use, and via its intuitive database and search and retrieval systems, turn it into “Information” which then has a genuinely value in terms of its time and costs savings. From here you gain more “Knowledge” to guide decisions and prevent repetitive mistakes in your organisation.
- Capture every document – of whatever size, configuration (bound or unbound) or level of fragility – and have it scanned by experts who constantly handle the most precious material
- Assemble all data from a vast range of different sources, be it paper, born-digital (electronic), individual photographs or books, into a single “database”
- Protect that data with different access (security) levels
- Enable your Clerk to search and research without any wasted time and resource
- Enable Members to have access to appropriate levels of data at will and from any location
- Encourage research to take place, with the comfort of security level controls, thus ensuring sensitive data is only available to those with a higher level of responsibility within the organisation
- Enable the easy search and amalgamation of data. For example, Master’s Year Books, reports, minutes and records, and have the output print-ready, if required
- Hold the data at multiple sites (or cloud-based) to prevent destruction caused by a major incident
- Take advantage of many other added-value solutions from SDS City of London, including bespoke web site design and tools tailored specifically to your archive
