We are living in very unpredictable environment and chances of natural and unexpected calamities like fire, earthquake, electric circuit faults, hard disk crashes etc can't be ruled out. We have several examples even in recent times where organizations were ill-prepared for disaster management and lost their important files and data at stroke of these calamities. "DMIS (Disaster Management Information System)" developed by us is state of the art integrated solution using cloud computing techniques to run your application, take back-ups automatically and retrieve your data in normal and difficult conditions.

"Digitization" as a complete process that broadly includes: selection, assessment, prioritization, project management and tracking, preparation of originals for digitization, metadata collection and creation, digitizing, quality management, data collection and management, submission of digital resources to delivery systems and into a repository environment, and assessment and evaluation of the digitization effort.

The processes involved in a digitization workflow falls into four main phases:

• Project planning
• Processes occurring prior to digitization
• Digital conversion
• Post-digitization work

Project planning and management, data collection, and quality management are considered to be some of the ongoing activities throughout all four phases of the digitization workflow.

The activities described within each phase address library/archival issues, imaging and conversion work, and IT infrastructure issues. Library and archival issues include preparation of originals for digitization, indexing, collection and creation of metadata of all types, and quality control of the digital versions, indexing data, and other metadata. Imaging/conversion work includes digitization, creation of derivative versions for access, quality control, and metadata creation. IT infrastructure issues include: collection and transfer of data to other systems, networked and Web services, databases, and managed storage and backup. Additional IT infrastructure issues include: short-term/intermediate data storage, backup of digital resources for disaster recover, and safeguards and checks to protect against data loss and to ensure data safety.
