What is Web Site Archiving?
Most Content Management Systems only provide a reconstruction of a page that was delivered in the past based on available content at the time of recall. They do not show the actual page viewed by a user i.e. the original rendered page. CMS version control cannot therefore be relied upon as an effective measure to ensure web content compliance.
We capture entire web estates (corporate, portals and social media etc) for our customers including authenticated end-to-end user journeys using real browsers. Portal based dashboards allow fast access to historical records without the need to involve IT. In this way, we take what is usually an ad hoc manual process and help our customers turn it into a comprehensive Content Collection process.
Our technology evolved from the functional testing service that we continue to provide for functional testing and browser compatibility. We developed a unique site crawler that supports dynamic variable sets allowing complete capture of all website versions for all user types E.G. capture the different paths & pages accessed by Retail & IFA users for a financial institution site.
The frequency of site capture can be Daily, Weekly or Monthly, but customers most commonly opt for Daily Capture. This policy ensures continuity of collection.
