Why Should You Care About the Federal Transition to Electronic Records?

Most agencies have little understanding of what records they have and where they exist across the organization’s various repositories. To solve this problem, the federal government has issued an executive order (M-19-21) requiring agencies to digitize, organize and manage records electronically.

Your records management program can’t be compliant unless you understand where all of your records are. You also can’t respond to retrieval requests in a timely manner.

You need to establish a comprehensive inventory of all dark data repositories in which information is being created so that records can be classified efficiently for management without end user intervention.
Why ActiveNav?
Because dark data is so diverse, traditional general data privacy vendors typically have critical gaps in their services:

They require you to migrate all of your content (not just your records) into their systems.

They can’t identify records until they’re migrated.

They require unrealistic organizational changes in terms of which repositories staff can use and where content can be saved.
