Bringing your legacy data alive

Kestrel IDM provide data management services including our speciality services in data recovery, transcription and remastering of old data that is output onto a modern industry standard media. Data can then be managed and monitored against degradation and obsolescence. Using proven cleaning and treatment facilities we can also recover data from old and decaying media, such as 9 & 21 track tapes suffering from stiction.

Kestrel ensures that transcribed digital data projects are subject to vigorous QC procedures to ensure all data has been captured correctly, and that index information has been accurately recorded. Quality control is a vital aspect of the transcription process and our experienced QC team will report and investigate any discrepancies. All outputs are backed up to an additional set of media and full read-after-write checks made.
