About 2dA
2dA brings together archive knowledge, execution power, technology and digital accessibility in one organisation
2dA helps organisations make archives, collections, files and document flows sustainably usable. We connect restoration, archive processing, scanning, metadata, storage, process support and AI on your own data in an approach that works in practice. Restorers, archivists, junior archivists, ICT specialists and programmers together form one working chain behind that route.

What 2dA stands for
Not a digitisation company, but a chain partner
2dA does not see digitisation as an isolated technical process, but as part of a broader information chain: from physical material and archival content to management, retrieval, transfer, e-depot and AI readiness.
What that means
Execution, content and further development stay connected
At 2dA, restoration, scanning, archive processing, metadata, storage and local AI are not organised next to each other, but deliberately connected.
From heritage and regional archives to FOI pressure, hybrid archives, file environments and AI on your own data.
Not only strategy or software, but also real execution, scale, guidance and quality control on the work floor.
Core
2dA makes information not only digital, but also explainable, transferable and usable
For organisations, the question is rarely only how something should be scanned. More often it is about how information remains findable, how backlogs are cleared, how a collection becomes ready for e-depot, or how data becomes usable for safe AI applications.
That is exactly where 2dA positions itself as a partner that understands and can execute the whole route.
How that becomes tangible
The combination of work floor, specialist expertise and in-house development
Because scanning lines, restoration, archive processing, metadata, software and local AI come together in one organisation, 2dA can move quickly between content questions and operational execution.
What 2dA brings together
2dA combines specialist disciplines that are often fragmented in many organisations, so substantive judgement and technical execution stay much closer together.
- restoration and preparatory treatment
- archive processing, description and metadata
- archivists and junior archivists in delivery and review
- scanning and production capacity
- ICT specialists and programmers for software and integrations
- scanning on demand and process support
- storage, retrieval and further development
- AI services and local AI on your own data
This creates not a chain of separate suppliers or separate steps, but one coherent route.
Who 2dA works for
2dA works for organisations with archives, collections and document environments that must be carefully managed and made digitally usable.
- municipalities and district municipalities
- regional archives and archive institutions
- water authorities and implementation bodies
- heritage institutions, libraries and museums
- notaries and law firms
- companies with large file and document environments
Especially where material is fragile, information becomes fragmented or the need for reliable digital access grows, 2dA offers an approach that keeps content and execution together.
Own work floor, own development
2dA builds not only projects, but also its own execution environment. On the work floor, scanning lines, quality control, restoration, archive processing, metadata and local AI applications come together. That allows restorers, archivists, junior archivists and technical specialists to involve one another directly in assessment, exceptions and next-step decisions.
- knowledge from restoration can feed back directly into digitisation
- questions from scanning on demand can lead to smarter process steps
- new AI applications can immediately be tested against real collections and files
This makes 2dA agile, content-strong and practical to execute.
Technology that supports people
At 2dA, technology is not about creating distance, but about helping people work better. The emphasis lies on systems that support choice, context, consistency and follow-up actions.
- local AI where privacy and control matter
- technology as support for archive knowledge, not as its replacement
- practical deployment on real workflows and real data
This applies to AI, but also to the way production, quality control and guidance are organised on the work floor.
Inclusive labour development as a strength
2dA shows that high-quality digitisation and inclusive work development can reinforce each other. By building tasks intelligently, safeguarding specialist knowledge well and organising guidance close to execution, room is created for staff who grow into the work step by step.
- clear task structures and work steps
- room for guidance and growth on the work floor
- social value without compromising quality
This strengthens the organisation in content terms while also giving social value a fixed place in daily practice.
Why organisations choose 2dA
Because 2dA does not only help digitise, but also helps execute, structure, describe, store, scale and further develop.
- one partner for multiple links in the chain
- specialist knowledge and production strength
- alignment with daily practice and future requirements
- preparation for e-depot, retrieval and AI on your own data
It is precisely that combination that makes 2dA relevant for organisations that want to move forward without losing control.
