The project team has worked hard to ensure the Curation Costs Exchange can help agencies understand the costs and benefits of digital preservation. By sharing our experiences we create opportunities for greater efficiencies and improved practice.

CCex is an important tool for a best-practice network like nestor. It helps the digital preservation community to become more cost-efficient and professional and integrates well with our overall efforts.

Trying to compare the costs of digital curation has historically been really hard because it is difficult to get a cost model to comfortably fit more than one organisation. The CCEx is designed to break this deadlock and get the community sharing and comparing.

The CCEx is the platform to help funders realise the benefit of their investments. By being transparent about their costs and plugging them into this platform, projects can demonstrate that the taxpayer is getting value for money.

The CCEx is a great tool to develop an investment plan for the implementation of curation activities at your institution.

Peter Doorn

DANS has been interested in the issues of the costs and benefits of long-term data access from its very beginning. The CCEx cost model is a great leap forward, making costs comparable across countries and organisations. The limited number of staff roles and OAIS-based activities makes the tool more straightforward than what we had before. We started using the CCEx tool and will continue to do so, also because it gives another view on how we are performing, and showing us where we can become more efficient.

Reinhard Altenhöner

The CCEx helps institutions in two respects: On the one hand it supports comparing different approaches and implementations of digital preservation, helps evaluating performances and provides quality assurance. On the other hand it emphasises to our funding bodies the cost-efficient, systematical and collaborative way the cultural domain deals with digital preservation; this creates trust in our activities.

The CCEx is an innovative idea that helps to solve the problem faced by universities and research data managers of how to estimate and allocate the resources required to fulfil their business and research excellence obligations.
