Featured Topic

Everyone talks about managing government digital information assets, but how is it done? This year the e-Records 2009 Conference will take a look at three real world projects from government agencies.

Timothy Sprehe, PhD, and Michael Corrigan will present "Information Asset Management: Automating Records Management Decisions," examining the general principles and strategy for Information Asset Management and using the U.S. Air Force as the primary case study.

J. Timothy Sprehe, Ph.D., is president of Sprehe Information Management Associates, Inc., a management consulting firm in the federal marketplace since 1991. Dr. Sprehe was chairman of AIIM International's C30 standards committee on integrated electronic document management systems and electronic records management systems and is the principal author of ANSI/AIIM/ARMA TR48-2006, Revised Framework for the Integration of Electronic Document Management Systems and Electronic Records Management Systems as well as its predecessor TR48-2004. He is a member of the AIIM Standards Board and the AIIM Standards Committee on Interoperable Enterprise Content Management. A frequent public speaker, Sprehe cosponsored an annual two-day conference on federal electronic records management from 1996 to 2006. During his 10 years at the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, he was principal author of the original OMB Circular No. A-130 (1985), the government-wide policy directive on the management of federal information resources. He has published almost 300 articles and books in the professional literature on electronic records management and other topics, and also writes an editorial opinion column for Federal Computer Week, a trade magazine. He received his Ph.D. in Sociology from Washington University (St. Louis) in 1967 and held academic positions at Johns Hopkins University and Florida State University before joining federal service in 1970.

Mr. Corrigan has over 30 years experience in designing and implementing information systems and information technology solutions for both commercial and government clients. He currently serves as Senior Information Management Strategist in the Office of the UnderSecretary of the US Air Force and Chief Management Officer. In this capacity Mr. Corrigan has developed the Air Force Information Management Strategy resulting in policy documents signed out by the AF CIO. Mr. Corrigan led the definition of the AF semantic approach to information exchange, developing the concepts for the Air Force Metadata Environment, Community of Interest vocabulary development, and application of the semantic models within the Air Force service-oriented architecture. In addition, Mr. Corrigan led the effort to define and implement the Automated Metadata Population Service which serves to automatically generate the metadata to support information discovery and sharing, information life-cycle management, and records management across the AF enterprise.

Carol Brock, CRM, will present "Big Bucket Retention Schedules for Enterprise-wide Electronic Recordkeeping: A Case Study."

Brock is a Certified Records Manager and the former Director of Information Assets for the US Government Accountability Office. She successfully spearheaded a NARA pilot project for simplified records scheduling and implemented an enterprise wide electronic recordkeeping system for which she earned the National Archivist's Achievement Award. She has 23 years of Federal RM experience as a contractor, consultant, and Federal employee.
