Outsourced Migration Guide

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.
