CIO/CTO responsibility for records management

Why Is This Idea Important?: While up-front costs may be high, a reliable electronic records management system is likely to elicit long-term savings once internal efficiencies and all of the costs associated with complying with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) are considered. A mandated date for full functionality of a usable electronic records management system, and strong reporting requirements, will prompt agency officials to make this task a priority.

•Require agency CIOs/CTOs to give much higher priority to the importance of records management. In addition, give agencies both adequate resources to purchase, implement, and train personnel on an electronic records management system and ensure that investing consider investing in this effort is a priority.
