title: PROCURING IT SYSTEMS: Thinking about digital preservation from the start
creators: Michael Popham Jenny Mitcham Paul Wheatley
abstract: This poster presents one of the final outputs produced from a collaborative project between the Digital Preservation Coalition and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority in the UK, “Digital preservation requirements for procuring IT systems”. This addition to the Digital Preservation Coalition’s Procurement Toolkit proposes the requirements that should be considered when procuring an IT system (for example an EDRMS, DAMS, or GIS) that may ultimately contain at least some records or digital content that needs to be retained beyond the life of the system.
