If You're Ready to Get Started:
A better way to use your time and resources
As a Digital Repository Manager or Administrator, your mission is to transform research into visible, preserved scholarship.
But too often, your time is wasted wrestling with manual updates, managing technical debt, and worrying about security vulnerabilities.
Aggressive AI crawlers and bots can degrade your repository's performance, leading to slow searches and frustrated users.
Your institutional knowledge risks becoming inaccessible or trapped in proprietary formats without a robust, long-term preservation strategy.
