NARA National Archives & Records Administration NARA endorses the most stringent records-keeping standard in the world: DoD-STD-5015.2 NARA recommends that agencies use the DoD standard as a baseline when selecting an RMA to manage the agency's electronic records Other non-federal governmental agencies, foreign governments, and private corporations are influenced by DoD-5015.2 + Case Study Background: NARA recently selected ZL as its email archive and is currently implementing and fine-tuning its email records strategy with ZL.
Case Study The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Capstone concept of email management. Implementing "Capstone" in the cloud, Lessons Learned
Capstone Approach Permanent - top decision-maker s e-mail Temporary 7 year retention Non-record 1 year retention
Bulletin - Capstone Approach Benefits, but risks to consider Considerations before implementation Impact on recordkeeping responsibilities Identifying permanent email accounts Implementing technologies Pre-accessioning policies
Capstone Implementation 90 day safe harbor before capture Gmail Sent and received Copy Records Archiving / Declaration Policies ZL Unified Archive (one copy only managed) Records Manager Retention Rules Permanent Temporary Non-Record Messages moved to ZL Archive 90 day safe harbor for re-classification Google Mail Journal messages as sent and received Journaled Email E-Discovery
Lessons Learned Establish common understanding Early work to migrate existing email repositories User communications Manage legacy email Capstone records schedule More.
Automatic Classification: Labels Labels are used to work with specific records archiving / declaration policies The user can manually add labels and set their own automated filtering / labeling policies in Gmail ZL synchronizes with Gmail labels for archiving and record declaration policies
Automatic Classification: Labels
Viewing Records in ZL UA Robust search capabilities and 4 different views of the end user s mailbox, including Records view and Gmail label view End users can file, update, or re-file their archived messages as records from their search results or any mailbox view

Gartner Research On E-Mail Records Management source: Gartner Research Note G00165869, 14 March 2009 This note documents the systemic failure... to understand the nature of electronic record keeping. Key Findings User-driven classification of records, especially of e-mail, has failed and will fail in virtually all cases. The technology missing when implementing records management is automated policy management. Business and IT must work together to create policy and automate it. Recommendations Give up user-based classification.... Treat e-mail as a separate issue. Enforce all RM policies with automation and continuous auditing processes, not moral exhortations.
