Agencies Going 'Cloud First' Face A Records Riddle - InformationWeek Agencies seeking a best-practices model for integrating electronic records requirements into a cloud-based email migration need look no further than NARA itself. Last year, NARA successfully moved more than 3,000 of its users from GroupWise to Google Apps for Government cloud-based email and collaborate suite. While the migration took only six months, officials spent several years carefully planning it. Between 2009 and 2011 NARA officials conducted market research on how to accomplish the transition, developed a business case, and established requirements, said Susan Sullivan, corporate records manager in the office of NARA's chief operating officer. The agency awarded a contract in September 2012 to Unisys to lead the project. "What NARA did, which is different from what anyone else has done as successfully, was to bake in records management as part of the cloud procurement," Baron said. http://ubm.io/1lBCK4V Source: http://www.informationweek.com/government/cloud-computing/agencies-going-cloud-first-face-a-records-riddle/d/d-id/1127642 See if people are clicking on this link: http://ubm.io/1lBCK4V+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA IGP [log in to unmask] Dallas, Texas Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
