Should you continue to store archives physically or switch to digitalisation?

Thursday, June 4, 1:30 PM, Room 1
Speaker: Demy van Leusden
Organization: Karmac Information & Innovation
In a time when organizations are flooded with documents, files, and digital data, one question stands out: should archives remain stored physically or be digitized? In this lecture, Demy van Leusden of Karmac Informatie & Innovatie guides trade fair visitors through what is the best choice for their organization, strategically, practically, and legally.

Attendees are introduced to the world of modern information management. How the Archives Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) influence each other, which retention periods truly apply, and why digitization is not only more efficient but also essential for compliance and confidentiality.How smart technology, such as advanced optical character recognition and digital archiving, supports organizations in reducing risks and simultaneously saving enormous amounts of time and costs.

The speaker does this using concrete practical examples, clear tools, and immediately applicable insights.
• When physical storage is still useful – and when it is not.
• How digitization leads to better findability, security and governance.
• What retention periods mean for daily work.
• How to comply with both the Archives Act and the GDPR without complex hassle.

In short, a lecture in which an expert teaches trade fair visitors how to transform information management from a cost center into a strategic advantage.
