Begin with clarity. Our Archives Management Capability Model (AMCM) is focused on developing and measuring the capability of an organization’s archival program.
The AMCM is a set of indicators that helps organizations assess their competence and progress in leveraging historical assets and memory.
Every organization has unique challenges and potential. We understand that each organization’s archival journey is unique. Our archiving and records management model is designed to customize archival strategies and facilitate archival management growth over time based on organizational priorities.
This AMCM at-a-glance shows the categories and dimensions used to measure and evaluate an organization’s starting point for identifying and prioritizing desired improvements.
Benefits of the AMCM
- The AMCM focuses on the strategic and historical value of archival collections. While aspects of archival programs such as records management are a critical component, those functions are primarily concerned with day-to-day maintenance, preservation, and systematic control to meet organizational and compliance requirements. The AMCM future-proofs your archives and provides a long-term archival management program that will ensure your collection can adapt to evolving technologies, operations, and cultures, making it more resilient and better positioned to meet future challenges and opportunities.
- The AMCM has a broader scope, focusing on the strategic management and use of digital and physical archival collections to preserve and leverage organizational history and memory. The AMCM is about advancing an organization’s archival capabilities holistically, including but not limited to the management of digital assets. Digital Asset Management (DAM) is technology-focused. DAM systems are designed to facilitate the efficient storage, retrieval, and use of digital content across an organization to support marketing, creative processes, and content management.
