With up to a third of digital content needing to be retained long-term (more than 7 years) according to IDC, unreadable or lost data from poor retention policies, obsolete file formats and accidental or intentional change or deletion is not only a serious compliance, reputational and legal risk but also impacts an organization's ability to leverage AI for value creation and process automation.

"As digital content continues to rapidly grow in volume and complexity, having a robust and secure foundation of instantly useable, reliable and trusted long-term data has become a strategic imperative, essential for mitigating compliance risk, optimizing SharePoint usage and leveraging AI for competitive advantage," says Stuart Read, Chief Product Officer at Preservica. "Ensuring long-term data is intelligently managed and automatically maintained in useable formats is at the core of our Active Digital Preservation software and we look forward to working with our global user community to build on this with new innovations throughout 2025 including a framework for the optimized use of AI, flexible and intuitive metadata capabilities and extended options for embedded archiving and Digital Preservation in Microsoft 365."
