Enigio´s background in e-archiving

At Enigio we have digitalisation, long-term preservation of digital data and e-archive systems in our DNA.

We see the integration between new technology like blockchain solutions and record-keeping as an important development within e-archives and the integrity of long-term storage solutions. This is why we are confident it is natural that our cloud storage solution e:archiver is directly integrated with our blockchain solution for traceability and timestamps; Enigio time:beat. Thus, when using our cloud based service Enigio e:archiver, you will get irrefutable integrity included in the service.

History

Part of our team came as a spin-off from the e-archive team at Swedish firm Signifikant AB. At Signifikant these engineers (now our colleagues) participated in developing, enhancing and maintaining one of the most used e-archive platforms in Sweden; called OEF R7 (Open e-archive framework).

OEF R7 is among others used as base for e-archive systems for around 12 Regional County archives in Sweden storing medical records.  The biggest today storing more than 120 million medical records (statistic from 2015).

Enigio today has the rights to the OEF R7 source code but is currently not selling it. Instead we focus on creating and developing our new, simpler and easy to use, cloud service e:archiver. It is lighter, less complex, modern and easy to start with. It is also easy to export your data to a new system instead; this possibility is built in from start.

Enigio is also as the only Swedish company, member of the InterPARES Trust-network for research in long-term preservation.
