Compliant-Secure Smarter Data Governance for More Transparent Government
Modernized data archival solutions ensure security & compliance with long-term access to public data without the costly burden of outdated infrastructure.

Overview
From enormous data volumes to compliance mandates, Government departments at federal/central, state, and local levels are facing increased challenges in data management and governance. These public sector institutions are under pressure to retain data securely and compliant with regulations such as Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) requirements in the USA, Right to Information (RTI) and Public Records Administration in India, and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and eIDAS Regulation in EU. Much of these data are stored in aging legacy systems that are expensive to maintain and challenging to access for future retrieval.
Platform 3 Solutions’ Archon Suite offers a modernized data archival solution by decommissioning these outdated systems and migrating data into a single, secure, searchable archive with Archon Data Store (ADS). ADS facilitates government departments to archive their data securely, remain cost-effective, retain compliance & audit-ready, and be retrievable.

Reporting and analytics become challenging.
