“We are very excited to go live with the new and improved Preservica. It is part of our vision to provide a complete environment to not only manage digital assets but to support the wider business needs of the community and use tools and solutions to understand your digital preservation needs,” remarked Jon Tilbury, Director of Archiving Solutions at Tessella.

Jon added: “Preservica really lowers the barriers to entry for organizations and institutions looking for full life cycle digital archiving and is suitable for commercial organizations or public institutions, in fact anyone who wants a high quality digital archiving system. Preservica is available via an affordable yearly subscription for the full application.”
