Transitioning to an Electronic Records Platform: Taking Advantage of the M-23-07 Directive
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in conjunction with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) issued M-23-07, an update to the M-19-21 Transition to Electronic Records Memorandum. M-23-07 specifically describes the steps that agencies must take to meet the goal of transitioning business processes and recordkeeping to a fully electronic environment, and end NARA’s acceptance of paper records by June 30, 2024.
Milestones to Compliance
- June 30, 2024:
- July 1, 2024:
✓ All permanent and temporary records will be managed electronically
✓ All agencies must close agency-operated records storage facilities and transfer inactive, temporary records to federal Records Centers or commercial records storage facilities
✓All transfers of permanent records must be in electronic format
Journey to Digital Transformation
Meeting the requirements of M-23-07 provides an additional challenge to agencies that are constantly grappling with tight budgets as well as adhering to other initiatives. Though the move to a fully electronic government is the ultimate goal, each agency will achieve it on their own unique timeline, likely employing multiple strategies.
