Abstract
Abstract

National archives set and implement national policies, recommendations and legislation for archiving standards which governmental and public actors need to obey. However, smaller actors in the field do not have this obligation and often they do not possess the resources or know-how to follow the set guidelines or to implement their own digital preservation workflows. This easily leads to the utilization of commercial information management solutions, which might lead to a vendor lock-in situation. In the worst case scenario, the software is merely a CMS or ERMS without any adherence to digital preservation standards. The OneClick SIP creator presented in this paper responds to this challenge. As a very welcome side effect, it also makes it easier to disengage from vendor lock-in situations by simplifying the creation of compliant information packages.
