PRESERVATION & MIGRATION COMMISSION

The Preservation and Migration Commission propose the Outsourced Migration Guide as an assistance to any organisation planning to carry out a migration project and involve a third party to execute the actual migration work and possibly other tasks surrounding it, such as transport, reporting, quality control, etc. It is also helpful for any organisation looking to carry out a migration project on its own, as many of the organisational and technical aspects of such a project are identical whether the work is outsourced or not.

The Preservation and Migration Commission propose the Guide to Quality Control in Migration Processes as a resource for organisations and professionals who are planning or undertaking a migration project and hold responsibility for the quality of its outcome. The guide addresses the full scope of quality arrangements across the entire process, emphasizing the critical importance of proper quality control in migration. Since migration is typically a one-time action, undetected quality issues would result in irreversible damage.
