Quotes

Digital continuity is the ability to use your information in the way you need, for as long as you need. Managing digital continuity protects the information you need to do business. This enables you to operate accountably, legally, effectively and efficiently. It helps you to protect your reputation, make informed decisions, avoid and reduce costs, and deliver better public services. If you lose information because you haven't managed your digital continuity properly, the consequences can be as serious as those of any other information loss.

(The National Archives, 2011, p. 5)
