Preservica expands its reseller partnership, aiming to bring “active digital preservation” to Microsoft 365 users

Preservica, which markets Active Digital Preservation as a way to keep digital records readable and usable over long periods, said it is broadening how it sells that technology to customers. In a June 11 announcement carried by Yahoo Finance, the company said it is expanding its reseller program through a partnership with Cadence Solutions, with the goal of bringing digital preservation capabilities to Microsoft 365 users.

The post frames the effort around Microsoft 365, the Microsoft cloud productivity suite that includes email, documents, collaboration tools, and management services. For organizations that retain records for regulatory, legal, or operational reasons, the challenge is not only storing content, but ensuring it remains accessible as formats, platforms, and systems evolve.

Preservica’s “Active Digital Preservation” is described in the announcement as a core part of the offering. While the posting does not detail the technical methods involved, the label generally distinguishes proactive preservation work from simple “store and hope” archiving, emphasizing ongoing management intended to reduce the risk of data becoming unreadable or unusable over time.

Cadence Solutions is positioned in the announcement as a new partner in Preservica’s reseller expansion. Reseller programs typically shift sales and implementation responsibilities to an intermediary that can bundle services, handle customer discovery, and coordinate deployment, while the underlying technology provider remains responsible for the platform or architecture.

For Microsoft 365 customers, the practical appeal is that digital preservation can be integrated into workflows already centered on Microsoft’s productivity stack. That matters because many enterprises run email and document creation directly in Microsoft 365 environments, meaning preservation requirements often begin with data already living inside Microsoft services.

Microsoft itself did not announce the partnership in the Yahoo Finance post, and the announcement text does not describe any formal Microsoft co-marketing arrangement, pricing, or integration certification. As a result, it is unclear from the announcement how Preservica’s preservation approach is specifically deployed in relation to Microsoft 365 workloads, such as whether it targets specific content types or uses a particular ingestion or export model.

The announcement also does not provide customer names, contract values, deployment timelines, or performance metrics. It does not disclose whether the reseller expansion will cover a particular geography, industry vertical, or customer segment, beyond referencing Microsoft 365 users broadly.

In the near term, organizations evaluating the announcement will likely look for concrete details that are not included in the Yahoo Finance posting, including implementation requirements, governance and retention controls, compatibility with Microsoft 365 configurations, and how Preservica’s preservation process is monitored. The reseller partner’s role in deployment and ongoing operations will also be a key point of differentiation.
