−
Wherever possible, the requirements are assigned to software or technical tools. If it is not possible to automate these functions in the given system iteration, the functions are incorporated into a manual procedure to be carried out by the end user. This ensures that the entire set of requirements are being carried out in the system, which is an integrated whole of software, people and procedures.
 
  
−
The goal is to add more detailed requirements along with increasing integration and functionality of the software components with each system iteration.

==Format-specific preservation issues==
 
−
 
 
−
Normalization is one preservation strategy that can be implemented using Archivematica.
 
−
 
 
−
Archivematica uses the National Archives of Australia's Xena software to convert certain file formats to xml-based formats on ingest. A full list of the file types Xena can normalize is available at [http://xena.sourceforge.net/help.php?page=normformats.html http://xena.sourceforge.net/help.php?page=normformats.html].
 
−
 
 
−
However, some formats cannot be normalized by Xena. Also, it may be desirable to adopt format-specific preservation plans for certain types of files based on institutional requirements and preferences.

−
For further discussion of these issues see [[Format-specific preservation plans]].
