In the News

Social media archiving is a young business—Arkovi roots date back to just January 2009 and we’re the first! Having grown up in financial services and as optimistic as we are about the industry’s future in communicating via social media, we’ll admit to having a perspective. We welcome media invitations to share that perspective and, of course, we’re always grateful for product coverage.
