A More Perfect Electronic Records Strategy:
How the New DoD 8180 can Boost your IG Program

Good records management ensures mission success because records are at the heart of accountability, institutional knowledge, and solid operational planning. Harnessing the potential of information requires investing in information governance capabilities and talent.

The US Department of Defense (DoD) Records Strategy is a plan to modernize the way this agency manages its records. This session covers useful ways to realize the vision of a Records Strategy to assess, collaborate, and implement effective electronic records management (ERM) systems with the goals of allowing you to (1) Curate, (2) Automate, and (3) Govern. You will look with glasses to see how governance, processes and roles can X-Ray your approach to ERM in a decentralized world of shared IT systems. What tactics help partner information governance with Compliance, IT, Information Security, and leadership? Mark Patrick, CIP recently rolled out DoD Manual 8180.01, a major records strategy update to the seminal DoD 5015.02-STD Electronic Records Management (ERM), a systems standard for DoD that many public and private sector IG professionals adopted as their own.
