The Acme Story
Acme has a 30-year old AV archive consisting of 50,000 items.
Even with an investment of $4.5 Million dollars made over the past 30 years...
...and spending $3 a year per item on management of the physical objects moving forward,...
...the collection of 50,000 items ...
...will be lost over the next 10 – 15 years.
Acme can save the usability of their archive and their investment in it through committing to digitization.
Investing just over $13 per item annually over the next 15 years will preserve access to their assets and avoid a loss of $6.6M.
