Digital archiving software and preservation solution
It’s More Than Software. It’s Certainty.
Long-term archiving is more than storing files. Arkivum’s browser-based SaaS platform safeguards, preserves, organises and provides controlled access to digital content so it remains searchable, readable and usable for as long as required.
The platform is designed for organisations with long-term data retention requirements and combines digital archiving software with active preservation, search, access controls, regulatory features and optional migration support.
One platform for long-term digital archiving and preservation
Arkivum provides a central digital archive for organisations that need retained information to remain controlled, searchable and usable over the long term.
Content can be ingested through a browser upload, cloud location or supported integrations, with an optional migration service available where organisations need help moving data out of existing systems.
Once retained, Arkivum combines safeguarding and active digital preservation with search, browser-based access and governance controls.
The platform is designed to support recognised good-practice approaches including ALCOA+ and FAIR, and Arkivum is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 27001.

Storage keeps a copy of a file.
Long-term digital archiving is concerned with whether that information will still be controlled, findable and usable when it is needed years from now.
Arkivum combines secure retention with active preservation, search and governed access, making it suitable for content that needs to outlive the system ortechnology that originally created it.

Arkivum archive solution FAQs
Contact usDo you support customers with migrating the data into the archive?
Yes, Arkivum provides an optional end-to-end validated data migration service for customers who require it. Please visit the data migration page for more information.
Does the Arkivum solution integrate into other systems?
Yes, it is possible to integrate Arkivum with other systems through our open API. We provide all the necessary documentation for customers to manage the integration themselves, or leverage a third party
Do you support integration with Office 365 (SharePoint & OneDrive)?
Yes, Arkivum supports a direct integration to Office 365, including SharePoint and OneDrive. This makes it easy to ingest data directly from these locations, in the same structure as it appears within the location.
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.
Do you support the digitisation of paper records and documents?
No, Arkivum does not support the digitisation of paper records and documents. If this is a requirement, we have several partners who could support this process.

Does the Arkivum solution utilise any AI technology?
The Arkivum solution doesn’t currently use AI within the product. Instead, the solution utilises automation to ease the process of safeguarding and preserving data in line with industry good practices.
Arkivum will continue to monitor industry trends and customer requirements to improve the product in future, which could include the leveraging of AI within the platform.
How do I access and manage the Arkivum solution?
The Arkivum solution is managed through an online browser-based dashboard. It supports the majority of modern browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
How long does it take for customers to be onboarded onto the solution?
Arkivum can work within customer timelines to onboard as quickly as they need. There are several steps required to set up a new system and train staff on its use, but we are confident that we can meet all customer timelines for onboarding.
How much does the Arkivum solution cost?
Arkivum works directly with each customer to understand their requirements and then provides a cost-effective package to suit their need. If you would like to speak to one of our team to receive some indicative pricing, please contact us.
How often do you update the solution?
Arkivum currently releases two major updates per year. These are provided to all customers free of charge. These are also supplemented by minor updates and fixes.
For customers working with life sciences, Arkivum provides full validation packs and documentation for each release.
What is the difference between a digital archiving system simply storing my data within a system like SharePoint or Dropbox?
A dedicated digital archive and preservation solution have been purpose-built to retain data for long periods and in some cases, forever. A solution like Arkivum’s has a range of functionality specifically designed to ensure that data is accessible and usable for as long as it is needed.
File sharing platforms such as SharePoint and Dropbox are not designed to be digital archives and so do not have this functionality. Digital safeguarding and preservation would likely have to be completed manually within these systems.
What sort of data retention period requires a digital archive and preservation solution like Arkivum’s?
Typically, Arkivum works with organisations that need to retain data for a minimum of 10 years, although it does depend on the use case.
What training on the system does Arkivum provide?
Arkivum provides all new customers with a series of training sessions on how to use the solution, including how to upload and ingest data into the archive. In addition to this, Arkivum provides customers with extensive online user guides, including a range of training videos.
Is Arkivum digital archiving software or a managed service?
Arkivum is a browser-based SaaS digital archive and preservation platform. Customers can manage the archive through the online interface, with optional services available for activities such as data migration.
Can Arkivum replace ageing archive, decommissioned or source systems?
Arkivum can provide a long-term destination for long-term data when organisations need to reduce dependency on legacy or operational systems. The Arkivum solution offers several ways in which to view data from these systems.
Migration requirements should be assessed for each source system and data type.
