As part of NARA’s Federal Electronic Records Modernization Initiative (FERMI), we will be participating in an Industry Day on November 2, 2017, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, at GSA’s Headquarters. There will be two sessions in the day for different target audiences: the morning session (10:00 am – 12:00 pm) will be for Federal agencies and the afternoon session (1:00 pm – 3:00 pm) will be for vendors.
FERMI is aimed at helping agencies obtain electronic records management (ERM) solutions and services through an improved procurement process. As we posted previously, NARA has been working with GSA to create a new ERM Special Item Number (SIN) under Schedule 36. The new SIN is now published and available for use. The Industry Day will give agencies and vendors the opportunity to learn more about the new ERM SIN.
Please see GSA’s blog for more information and to register for the event.
All Federal agencies are welcome to attend. If there are any questions, please email us at PRMD@nara.gov
I realize we live in a digital age, but the exposure to sensitive information is ever increasing the more we digitalize this information. One hack could create massive S-storm. I would believe that the Government has some pretty high tech security and all, but at which point do you stick to paper? Our information as citizens is everywhere, to the point of being ridiculous. What ways is the Government looking to protect us?
