Best Practices for Federal Capstone Compliance Using Existing Technology

The federal Capstone initiative is one of the first efforts out of the National Archive and Records Administration (NARA) related to the 2012 Presidential Records Management Directive from President Barack Obama. Focusing on email data, the initiative seeks to increase compliance with the Federal Records Act, by defining simple requirements for electronic email management, and rules to follow while shifting from paper-based long term archiving of email to fully electronic capture and store.  The deadline for compliance has now been set by OMB as December 31, 2016.

Join Symantec and Carahsoft to gain practical insights into how your department can implement best practices for email records management using Symantec Enterprise Vault and the Symantec eDiscovery Platform powered by Clearwell, which follow the requirements of the Presidential Records Management Directive and will let you reach the OMB deadline of 12/31/2016.

The session will help you understand exactly how you can:

• Leverage an agency’s existing investment in Enterprise Vault and/or Clearwell to meet Capstone requirements rather than requiring the purchase and use of new technology
• Automate archiving processes and reduce the use of item by item filing to make email management easier
• Enable and enforce a systematic retention policy
• Categorize and schedule email archiving based on the position and/or work of the email account owner
• Filter transitory, non-record, and/or personal messages that don't need to be kept long term
• Simplify the appropriate record transfers to NARA
