I am delighted with the level of interest generated at the ECA conference in Geneva. Our customers were there in force with many giving talks and all acting as strong advocates of our solution. I received positive feedback on my paper on automating digital preservation processes, which I believe is essential in real large scale archives.
Next week we are at Archiving 2010 in Den Haag and I look forward to another successful conference.
