Implementing a Comprehensive Disposition Strategy at GAO
Time: Networking – 6:00 PM, Dinner – 6:30 PM, Presentation – 7:30 PM
Location: Golden Bull Grand Café, 7 Dalamar Street, Gaithersburg, MD 20877 ~301-948-3666
Program: You can’t keep everything forever, but you need a systematic, defensible process before you can dispose of data.
In the age of big data, records managers play an important role in helping their organizations manage and preserve large volumes of information appropriately throughout the records lifecycle. Effective management at the end of the lifecycle is equally important as the creation and active use phases. It is essential that a records management program take the lead in providing appropriate policies and procedures to allow an organization to dispose of large volumes of data when they are no longer needed, while ensuring that information with enduring value for business, legal, or historical purposes is preserved. A defensible and systematic disposition process protects an organization from legal risk, ensures records repositories are in compliance with retention policies, and avoids unnecessary storage and maintenance costs.
Our November program presents a case study of the GAO’s recent initiative to implement a comprehensive disposition strategy for records across all agency platforms. Courtney Hanson, GAO Management Analyst for GAO's Records and Privacy Program, and Cheryl Smith, Vice President and Senior Records Consultant for NetSmith, Inc., will discuss how GAO implemented an integrated disposition process that applies to all agency records in all formats, including paper, electronic records in their Electronic Records Management System, and other electronic data managed in agency business systems. They will provide an overview of the agency’s approach to records retention and disposition processing, and discuss how they used the process surrounding the quarterly NARA disposal notices as a baseline from which they designed a streamlined, efficient process for obtaining disposal approvals from business owners, identifying and preserving legal holds, and ensuring
extended retention for records needed for ongoing work or for historical preservation.
