This technical report, which replaces Guideline for Outsourcing Electronic Records Storage and Disposition, includes a broad discussion of storage technologies and service offerings for electronic records, including operational issues such as outsourcing considerations and contract-related elements.
Its appendices feature 10 checklists that may be used for evaluating and selecting electronic records storage service providers.
Purchasers will have access to these checklists as a form-enabled Word file that can be used to create a customized request for proposal for distribution to potential service providers.
Note: This does not address the storage of physical records, which is covered in Guideline for Evaluating Offsite Records Storage Facilities.
