Archives have traditionally been passive systems – hard to navigate, slow to share, and complex to restore. At Preferred Media, we have changed the game with Projects, a breakthrough solution that turns static repositories into dynamic and collaborative collections for sharing.
Watch a 2-minute walkthrough to discover how easy it is to transform any part of your archive into an active, collaborative collection.
The inspiration behind Projects
For decades, archives were essential for compliance and preservation, but they often gathered dust with little actual consumption.
Teams faced challenges like:
- Fragmented archives across multiple systems
- Difficulty finding things, and rigid folder structures that didn’t help with discoverability
- Poor permission management options
- Slow, complex restore workflows
These inefficiencies lead to inertia, higher costs, and missed opportunities to surface and reuse valuable preserved assets.
Our new Projects feature bridges the gap between preservation and productivity, delivering a secure and seamless way to collect, organise, share, and restore archived content – without compromising integrity.
Key Features
- Group Content Seamlessly: Combine files from multiple archives into a single curated collection
- Build Custom Structures: Create folders and naming conventions without altering the original archive
- Share Securely: Collaborate with internal teams or external partners using permissions, passwords, and expiry settings
- Restore Instantly: Launch restore workflows for individual assets or entire projects, complete with notifications and audit visibility
Benefits for Your Organisation
- Faster Workflows: Reduce time spent locating and restoring archived content
- Smarter Collaboration: Enable distributed teams to work together efficiently
- Preservation Integrity: Original files remain protected while enabling dynamic engagement
- Operational Control: Maintain full visibility and audit trails for compliance
