The questions buyers actually ask.

IAR is an information asset register for the New Zealand public sector. It records what information your organisation holds, classifies it against your disposal authority, and governs it with named stewards. It's offered in an agency tier and a regulator tier.

Structured capture, position-based stewardship, and one source of truth remove the manual rebuilding, freeing your IM team's capacity for real IM work. An optional support contract puts our team alongside yours, and record-level AI-assisted disposal mapping across Microsoft 365 and other systems (in development) will propose disposal for human review.

IAR is built security-first with native SSO and is NZISM-aligned by design (a formal review is on the roadmap). Through our partnership with TeamCloud / TeamIM, IAR can be hosted on New Zealand infrastructure where local hosting and compute are required. Importantly, the register holds public metadata about your holdings, not the sensitive record content itself, so its risk profile is inherently low. See Security & trust.

No. IAR sits above your content systems and governs the assets they hold. Your records stay in SharePoint, your EDRMS, and line-of-business systems under your existing controls; IAR gives you the accountable register and the view across all of them.

IAR has native single sign-on, a bi-directional API for read and write integration, and full CSV export of all content at any time, so your information and metadata are never locked in.

IAR is priced by entity size and scope, not per seat. An optional support contract adds hands-on IM capacity. If you're already a TeamCloud customer, IAR can be commissioned through the TeamCloud customer-credit system at the same cost, and in some cases already covered by credit you hold. See Pricing.

Weeks, not months. We load your disposal authority and migrate your existing register, then map stewardship to positions and bring your stewards into the platform, so you start from a complete picture rather than a blank page.

Australian Archives Act 1983 support is in the platform. Our 2026 focus is the New Zealand public sector, with our Australian agency focus beginning in 2027.

IAR's Māori Data Value Framework is based on the Māori Data Governance Model (Te Kāhui Raraunga) and the principles of Te Mana Raraunga, and has been independently validated. It surfaces the distinct value and stewardship obligations that attach to Māori data within the register.

IAR is the product. It's currently built and backed by TalentJam to keep admin light in the early stages, with a dedicated IAR entity to be established later this year. It's built in Wellington, with over two years of engagement across Archives NZ, ALGIM and the IM community, and pilots with three agencies and two regulators. More on the About page.
