Government records management

The scope of government business is expanding rapidly due to the profusion of electronic documents and online interactions. At the same time, you are under pressure from increased compliance requirements, demands for government transparency, and the increasing burden to share information that is often highly sensitive. Federal agencies face the additional requirement of responding to the Presidential Memorandum on Managing Government Records. Some agencies may need to meet additional standards, such as Department of Defense Directive 5015.

With all these new pressures on agencies, government records management is a priority. You need records management systems that are easy to adopt and manage, protect information, preserve historic records, expand access to public records, and meet regulatory compliance needs. If your records management requirements are complex, you may also need to integrate, customize, and extend your interoperable document and records management solution.

Collecting and creating records is just one aspect of a records management. Once the records exist, you must be able to find and retrieve them efficiently. SharePoint search technologies can provide the discovery capabilities you need to find items after they have been classified and stored.

If your agency already uses Office 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010 or is covered by Software Assurance, meeting all these requirements may be easier than you think.

The Microsoft government records management solution automates records management policy throughout the document life cycle. From creation and collaboration to record declaration, policy-driven retention, and finally document disposal or archiving, the solution helps you collaborate and share information securely across boundaries, protect document integrity, and reduce legal risk. Built on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010, the solution is easy to deploy, use, and maintain. Once it is in place, the solution facilitates:

  • Restricting document access to authorized users.
  • Auditing user and system activity to help you protect final documents from tampering and alteration.
  • Searching and storing more efficiently across records repositories and line-of-business systems.
  • Integrating records management seamlessly into existing business processes across the organization, including portals, cross-agency collaboration, and business intelligence.
  • Reducing the complexity of regulatory compliance.
  • Lowering IT deployment and management costs by providing records management functionality on a unified foundation with common management tools.
In addition, the solution will help you improve constituent service through operational efficiency.
