Welcome to the AMO Journal, an on-line publication of Archive Management.org (AMO) and the Data Management Institute. This webzine contains vendor neutral analyses, research, and editorial coverage of the issues, architectures, technologies and politics that are shaping contemporary archive practices and products.

We hope you will find the AMO Journal to be of value to your development of an archiving strategy for your organization. We welcome your feedback regarding topics you would like us to cover.

In our premiere issue, we offer three features covering

• the archiving process
• the business case for archive
• and elements of an archive platform.

We also offer an editorial opinion on EMC's misguided "Shatter the Platter" marketing campaign, which seeks to substitute magnetic disk for optical disc media.  To read these features and editorials, just click on the selection in the drop-down menu.

Thank you.
