As technology is constantly evolving and old technologies become obsolete in a matter of years it is vital that mission-critial information be stored properly and in a manner that is independent of the latest technology.

Microfilm is a unique backup medium because it can be read by the eye, without the need for hardware or software. Like paper, microfilm is an "analog" medium that can be viewed by anyone, anywhere. It's different from digital data, such as information stored in a computer, which is completely dependent on technology.

Microfilm is also much less costly for backup than digital media, for two reasons: first, microfilm technology is consistent - it doesn't require continual hardware/software upgrades. Second, unlike digital graphic devices, it's not limited by "dots per inch", since a single photograph holds virtually an infinite amount of detail.

Another microfilm benefit is that it's always acceptable as courtroom evidence because the information cannot be altered. This is not true for digitally stored information. And, unlike typical digital media, microfilm has never "crashed".

At IPS we can help you understand how microfilm can be incorporated into your information management and disaster recovery strategy as well as helping you deploy that strategy.
