Fulton, MD (June 2025) – Quality Associates Inc. (QAI), a leading provider of data and records management solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Creekside Digital, a nationally recognized leader in standards-compliant digitization services and solutions. The partnership brings together two industry innovators to offer a fully scalable, cost-effective solution that meets the stringent federal requirements outlined in 36 CFR 1236 Subpart E, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)’s regulation governing the digitization of permanent federal records.
As part of the partnership, QAI becomes an authorized reseller of Creekside Digital’s Orchestrator Server Suite (OSS) and Virtuoso Desktop software platforms. These advanced tools streamline high-volume digitization, enable compliance with FADGI and NARA guidelines, and verify the accuracy of permanent digital records—all within a scalable and efficient framework.
“Our partnership with Creekside Digital represents a transformative step forward,” said Scott Swidersky, Vice President of Quality Associates and Konica Minolta Intelligent Information Management. “Together, we’re enabling government agencies and regulated industries to meet NARA’s digitization requirements with confidence, while significantly reducing costs and operational complexity.”
This alliance comes at a critical time, as federal agencies face regulations to modernize records under OMB/NARA mandates like M-19-21 and M-23-07, which aim to transition government recordkeeping to an all-electronic model. QAI has long supported this initiative and has now expanded its capabilities by integrating Creekside Digital’s cutting-edge compliance and automation technologies.
“The synergies between our teams are a perfect match,” said Jim Studnicki, President of Creekside Digital. “OSS and Virtuoso Desktop provide a technology foundation that ensures digitized records meet federal standards. Through QAI’s deep roots in federal document management, we can now bring these tools to a much wider audience.”
Benefits to QAI and Creekside Digital Clients Include:
• High-volume production of digitized records meeting NARA 36 CFR 1236 Subpart E standards
• Automated verification and audit reporting for compliance
• Reduced file sizes and long-term storage costs
• Scalable deployment for agencies of all sizes
• Just to name a few
The partnership positions both QAI and Creekside Digital as leaders in the digital transformation of federal recordkeeping and cultural heritage preservation.
