Preservation of corporate information has become the specific responsibility of corporate executives.  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 removes the corporate shroud, compelling officers of corporations to assure regulators and investors that their corporation is in compliance with mandated records policies and procedures.


The use of a combination of digital and analog technologies provides the most effective in preserving corporate records.  Digital technology provides the method to capture transactions as they occur.  However, this information is subject to alteration, making it suspect within the eyes of regulators. 


The use of microfilm as an archiving technology creates permanent, legally admissible records.  Reference Archiving is the technology of capturing information electronically, and converting that information to microfilm, as part of the immediate business process.  For fractions of a cent per transaction, corporations can now create and retrieve a permanent database of their business, thus complying with governmental regulators.


Several companies are developing products for this market.  The two most widely used systems are Kodak's Document Archive Writer and Anacomp's Image Direct IDP 1600.  Both offer the ability to translate electronic images to microfilm, making an immediate copy of the record.  Like electronic imaging systems, indexes and metadata can be extracted from the source to create searchable databases, leading to the location of the records.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 makes executives personally  responsible for the preparation and maintenance of a corporation's records.
