inventory example

In the past, most data and information was stored on paper or inventory example microfilm (microfiche) and kept in an archive room. It was common for these archives to be provided with digital computer-supported indices. However, due to the long and complicated management and search mechanisms involved, this traditional approach is no longer up to date. Furthermore, because of the growth in data quantities and the space required for it, paper archives would sooner or later become too expensive. Our discussion therefore does not consider archives that store information on paper or microfiche and use a digital index as being digital archives.
