Records Management for Decision Advantage
With the June 30, 2024, deadline outlined in OMB M-23-07 quickly approaching, agencies are continuing to transition all permanent records to an electronic format. And while the Federal Electronic Records Modernization Initiative (FERMI) looks to provide a standardized and interoperable set of records management solutions and services across the federal government, challenges still remain.

We'll highlight a specific successful implementation journey and show how you can leverage a lean integration team to achieve powerful results.

Information Sharing and EO 14028
Even with the right tools and checkpoints in place to ensure a strong cybersecurity posture, increasingly sophisticated bad actors still pose a threat. Information sharing is critical to ensuring that threats are effectively detected, prevented and, if a breach occurs, meaningfully addressed. Executive Order 14028 underscores that sharing of information is necessary to enable more effective defense of agencies’ systems across the federal government. In this session, we discuss the pain points of information sharing within an agency and across the federal government — and what can be done to break down those barriers.
