Why? 74% of New Zealand public sector agencies hold records they can no longer access 2009 Govt. Recordkeeping Survey
No Really, Why? Digital information lasts forever, or five years, whichever comes first.Jeff Rothenberg., Scientific American, January 1995.
What is the Digital Continuity Action Plan? • The plan is an all-of-government approach to digital continuity • 6 goals and 15 actions areas for implementation over the next 3 years • For the whole of the public sector • Covers all public sector digital information • Launched August 2009
Key Drivers • There when you need it. Public sector digital information will be maintained so that it can be accessed when it is needed. • Authentic and reliable. Public sector digital information is tamper-proof and free of technological digital rights restrictions. • Trusted access.New Zealanders can be confident that they will be able to find, retrieve and use all public sector digital information that can be made publicly available, and that their sensitive information will be protected from unauthorised access. • Do nothing, lose everything. If no action is taken, public sector digital information will be lost.
Key Message: Collaboration • The DCAP is a collaborative initiative. We are focussing on cross-agency and cross-discipline solutions, working together to achieve positive outcomes. • Archives New Zealand’s role is to provide leadership, support and advice on this issue.
