Preserving data and documents with the Vitam software

The Program Vitam is a French cross-ministerial project, whose main goal is to develop an open source recordkeeping software (back-office and front-office). The project has been drawn up since 2011 and organized using an innovative approach in France, for archives and recordkeeping sectors, but also for public services in general, involving records managers, archivists and IT professionals. In addition to its funding ministries (Culture, Foreign Affairs, Defense), it now has more than seventy partners from the public and the private sectors. In spring 2024, the Vitam 7.1 will be released.

During this tutorial, the Vitam team will present the organization of the program, and give an overview of the concepts, functionalities and roadmap of the Vitam software. There will also be a hands-on exercises, allowing attendees to familiarize themselves with the Vitam software, from records acquisition to access, archives lifecycle management and preservation.
