Enterprise digital archiving software for long-term retention.
Arkivum is a browser-based SaaS archive platform designed for organisations that need digital information to remain available for years or decades.
The solution brings safeguarding, preservation, search, controlled access and migration support together in one long-term archive, reducing reliance on short-term or archival storage tools or ageing source systems.
Unlike ordinary cloud archival storage, document management or file-sharing platforms, Arkivum is designed around the long-term usability of retained content.
Files can be searched and accessed through the online archive while data safeguarding and active preservation processes help manage risks created by corruption, changing formats and technology obsolescence.
More than archival storage; Preserve data so it remains usable.
Storing a file is not the same as preserving it.
Hardware, software and file formats change over time, and information that can be opened today may become difficult or impossible to use in the future.
Arkivum combines digital archiving with active preservation so organisations can retain confidence in the readability and usability of important content throughout its lifecycle.
Built for regulated and high-value information.
Arkivum’s data archiving software supports a broad range of use cases across a diverse set of industries. This includes the retention of clinical trial records in line with EU CTR’s 25 year retention requirement through to preserving digitised collections of historical and cultural importance.

Digital archiving and preservation FAQs
What is digital archiving software?
Digital archiving software provides a controlled environment for retaining, managing, searching and accessing digital content over the long term. A safeguarding and preservation-led archive also addresses risks such as file corruption, format obsolescence and future readability.
How is a digital archive different from cloud storage or archival storage?
Cloud storage, archival storage and file-sharing tools are primarily designed for current access and collaboration. A dedicated long-term archive adds controls and preservation processes designed to keep retained information governed, findable and usable over much longer periods.
When should an organisation consider digital preservation?
Digital preservation becomes increasingly important where information must remain usable for many years, particularly when records are regulated, valuable, difficult to recreate or likely to outlive the systems that originally created them.
An effective digital preservation approach can also be used to evidence (e.g. to regulators) the steps an organisation is take to maintain data integrity for the long-term.
