Archival system

KMD Arkivering is a department in KMD A/S which extracts, converts and archives data from various public archives such as from danish municipalities according to danish decree 1007.

Such archives is often data intensive ranging from gigabyte size to terabyte size, involves specialized XML schema, file structure and conversion of up to 1500 file formats to TIFF.

Because of the involved data transformations the processing needs to be done efficiently, perfomant and correct in order to minimize the time to complete a given archival task (with pure computer processing often counted in days or weeks).
