Invitation to become a Piql Pilot Client

The data must be born digital or have already been digitized (We can potentially assist you to digitize your data, but this will be at your cost).

In the pilot we will guide you through the following steps in our Piql Services Journey: Preparation, Ingest, Data Storage and Access:

1: PREPARE • Together we will assess your needs and potential challenges within data storage and preservation • We will share our experience and thinking about “best practice” established through our R&D projects and from working with other Clients globally • Jointly evaluate a dataset that is representative for your needs and that can be implemented into a Pilot Project • Propose relevant storage/preservation formats • Evaluate potential benefits for integration with your ex- isting IT-system/infrastructure e.g. Document Management System (DMS), Content Management System (CMS), Library Management System (LMS), etc. 2: INGEST • Together we will prepare and test the ingest of your data into our Services, either to secure online transfer or trans- fer through (encrypted) physical media • You can test our piqlIngest software • We will transfer your data to piqlFilm and ensure the integrity of your data

3: DATA STORAGE • Evaluate the need and location for physical storage of your data (i.e. piqlFilm in piqlBox and any potential online version of your data) including assessment of potential redundancy requirements • We will introduce you to the Arctic World Archive (Note storage cost not included as part of this project) • As default we will send you your piqlFilm and in this proj- ect it is assumed that you store it yourselves 4: ACCESS • Together we will test and verify the readback of the data from the piqlFilm through the piqlReader • You can test the access module in the Piql Services soft- ware that in addition to retrieval of data from piqlFilm also offers instant online or on-premise access to your data • Having read back the data from your piqlFilm, we will upload the data to your own IT infrastructure • As part of the project we can assess the effort to inte- grate Piql Services with your IT-infrastructure. Such integra- tion can be implemented in a larger project.
