Engineering work and engineering projects generate documents and records essential to the operation and maintenance of our way of life today. Many of the resulting infrastructures, buildings, and products must endure over time, and this is why companies need to maintain records of how things are done and were done. To preserve born-digital information assets in the long term, it is necessary to consider implementing digital preservation practices, which must be carried out in conjunction with proper records management from the moment the documents and content are created and generated.
