Follow the Leader - Please!

Recently I received a notice via email from the Government and I have to say it was very exiting.  It was a PDF file and when I opened the PDF, there was a very impressive first page with official Executive Office seals and insignia.  Here is what the opening said: 

"EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503
NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20408
August 24, 2012

On November 28, 2011, President Obama signed the Presidential Memorandum -Managing Government Records. This memorandum marked the beginning of an Executive Branch-wide effort to reform records management policies and practices and to develop a 21st-century framework for the management of Government records. "

The memorandum goes on to talk about document imaging and this is what really got me excited - "This directive requires that to the fullest extent possible, agencies eliminate paper and use electronic recordkeeping. "

As you can appreciate, as a document imaging service bureau, the more momentum there is to convert paper to digital, the better.  The government taking a leadership role will certainly help bring along many more companies to the digital revolution.  But really, when I read between the lines and read more of the directive, the rationale for the directive is just good solid business sense.  Keep your information organized and accessible and you will be a more efficient organization. 

Follow the leader, it's good for your organization and it just so happens to be good for Millennia Group too.  Thank you Mr. President!
