Insights for Executives
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has established firm milestones that all Executive Branch Agencies eliminate paper OPFs by October 2012. EHRI offers proven, cost-effective solutions to ease an Agency’s transition to electronic OPFs (eOPFs) and improve workforce planning with insightful analysis and reporting capabilities. All solutions are fully compliant with OPM and Federally mandated HR employee record management regulations.
The process of moving from a paper based system to electronic records management can be a daunting one, especially given scarce resources. The EHRI PMO has the expertise and established best practices to maximize Agency results while minimizing negative impacts. For example, we know that bringing your IT team into the process as early as possible will ensure that resources are allocated and prioritized appropriately.
