Federal Government Document Management Chicago, IL

Federal Government Document Management in Chicago, IL. The request for federal government agencies to digitize their documents has turned into a necessary task. In 2018, the then-President's administration published a report entitled "Delivering Government Solutions in the 21st Century, which detailed a far-ranging strategy to reduce and re-center the federal government and improve its efficiency. While several of its proposals never came to pass, a proposal that was approved is to move all federal business processes and records to a paperless environment by December 31, 2022. The government has even ordered the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) not to accept any paper record after this date. Additional guidance has been published by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This set out a framework that Chicago, IL federal government agencies should follow to achieve this goal. By the end of 2022, the OMB has ordered that "Federal agencies will manage all permanent records in an electronic format and with appropriate metadata," and all temporary records must be either in electronic formats or stored in commercial facilities.
