Tessella launches Preservica subsidiary business

New company formed from Tessella Archiving Solutions division will focus on rapidly growing digital preservation market.

OXFORD, UK | BOSTON, US | Tuesday 29th April 2014 | Tessella, an international, analytics, software services and consulting company, announced that its successful Archiving Solutions business has been re-launched as Preservica Ltd. (and Inc.) to form a separate, wholly owned subsidiary company backed by the Tessella group.

Alan Gaby, Chief Executive of Tessella said: “The digital preservation market is growing rapidly as institutions, government agencies and businesses look for ways to securely preserve valuable digital content, collections and records for the long term. Launching Preservica as a subsidiary business enables us to increase our focus on maintaining our position as a world leader in this space”.

Jon Tilbury, previously Director of the Tessella Archiving Solutions division now appointed to Chief Executive of Preservica Ltd. adds: “I look forward to leading the same team of digital preservation experts as we take this exciting next step in building our archiving and preservation business. Being a separate business, with Tessella’s backing, will give us the flexibility to rapidly develop our unique, active preservation products and technologies and work more closely with our customers and partners.”

Building on over a decade of experience in digital preservation, Preservica already has an impressive line-up of customers including leading pan-national, national, state, local and business archives and libraries across 4 continents. Preservica’s unique Active Preservation technology has also been a previous winner of the UK Queens’s Award for Enterprise: Innovation.

Tessella’s Safety Deposit Box (SDB) on-premise digital preservation platform will become Preservica Enterprise Edition and will sit alongside an on-premise Preservica Standard Edition and a fully cloud-hosted Preservica Cloud Edition. All three Editions are built around the same Active Preservation technology and include a comprehensive suite of OAIS (Open Archival Information Systems) compliant workflows for ingest, management, storage, access and preservation of digital content. Preservica Enterprise Edition is also fully customizable to allow larger organizations to develop workflows that meet their individual archiving and preservation policies.

Preservica will use www.preservica.com

as its company website and center for digital preservation resources. Preservica will also soon be launching a major new version of its leading digital preservation platform as well as new low-cost starter plans for Preservica Cloud Edition.
