FEA Records Management Profile, Version 1.0
Issued By: AIC - Effective Date: 12.15.2005, 1549K, PDF
Abstract:

In performing their missions, Federal agencies produce records that are important business assets supporting Government operations. Agencies must manage their records throughout the records life cycle from creation through final disposition. By identifying and embedding records management requirements within their enterprise architectures, agencies will realize benefits such as compliance with relevant laws and regulations, consistent records management practices across the agency, improved customer service, and real cost savings.

The purpose of the Records Management Profile is to provide agency decision makers with a framework for incorporating statutory records management requirements and sound records management principles seamlessly into agency work processes, enterprise architectures, and information systems. The Records Management Profile provides an overview of the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) and explains how the reference models provide a context for applying effective records management practices. Additionally, the Records Management Profile describes how each reference model currently addresses records management and how agencies can use the various records management resources in the Records Management Profile to improve their records management programs.
