According to the information obtained by the AA correspondent, TÜRKSAT AŞ, which plays an important role in Türkiye's digital infrastructure, launched the ArşivNet Project for the digital archive needs of public institutions in 2018.
Within the scope of the system developed to store public data domestically and increase its security, the server, storage, network, database and software services of the digital archive infrastructure are provided by the company.
The system, used in 50 institutions in Türkiye and 2 institutions in TRNC, provides digital backup and archiving services that support the business continuity of institutions, as well as the safe storage of critical and personal data. Currently, institutions and organizations from the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure to the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre, from Turkish Electricity Production Inc. to Ankara University, from ministries to bureaucracy, from the academic community to companies, benefit from this service.
Millions of documents can be stored digitally
Designed to work in parallel with the e-Government Gateway, ArşivNet enables the creation of corporate memories of public institutions and the rapid management of millions of documents.
Thanks to the system, citizens' documents are stored in infrastructures in Türkiye in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK).
ArşivNet, which can also work integrated with TÜRKSAT Digital Archive, is planned to be used for the digital archive needs of public institutions as well as municipalities, libraries, hospitals and private organizations.
Thanks to digital archiving, it is aimed to reduce the effort, time and costs spent in document copying, filing and physical archiving processes, and to make large storage areas used for physical archives available to the public by storing millions of documents in digital environment.
Images can be converted to text with OCR technology
Thanks to detailed authorization and monitoring of transaction history in ArşivNet, institutions are enabled to manage their sensitive and confidential data in a more controlled manner.
With the visual scanning (OCR) feature of the system, texts in photographs and scanned documents can be converted into digital data and saved.
ArşivNet, which also has secure folder and file sharing features, enables institutions to carry out their data storage and archiving processes in a digital environment.
Thanks to the ability to access the system from different devices, users can quickly access the documents they need in line with their authorizations.
It is envisaged that ArşivNet can also be used in efforts to digitize and make accessible millions of documents created throughout the history of the Republic.
Cyber security infrastructure is monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Within the scope of ArşivNet, which is planned to be made available to public institutions, educational institutions, data producing institutions in the telecommunications and finance sectors, customized services can also be provided according to the needs of the institutions.
The system is aimed to reduce the need for foreign-based digital archive services and contribute to keeping public data in Türkiye.
ArşivNet infrastructure is monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by TÜRKSAT with monitoring and warning mechanisms. Thus, in addition to the digital archive service, it is aimed to ensure that infrastructure and cyber security processes are carried out uninterruptedly.
The system contributes to meeting the digital archive needs of public institutions with domestic infrastructure and software facilities, strengthening data security and preserving Türkiye's institutional memory in the digital environment.
