Records Management: 5015.2 Certified Open-Source Records Management

By Dick Weisinger

It’s official.  [Well sort of since it hasn’t yet been updated on the DoD JITC site of certified 5015.2 products.] Alfresco’s Open Source ECM solution is now certified for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) 5015.02 standard.  5015.2 is a standard that is endorsed by NARA (National Archives and Records Administration) and is often viewed as a best-practice model for records management in organizations.  5015.2 is a certification that is mandatory for a records management software product to be sold to any part of the federal government. Alfresco features that enabled 5015.2 certification include:

– a Forms system
– Metadata management / FilePlan Specification
– Lifecycle management
– Open import/export capabilities
– Enhanced auditing
– Improved workflow controls

“Alfresco Records Management Module has the ability to transform the way in which government and commercial organizations approach their governance, retention and compliance strategies, as the open source pricing model will
significantly reduce the barrier to regulatory compliance,” said John Newton, CTO of Alfresco Software. “The DoD standard has become a benchmark for electronic records management systems and this certification demonstrates our commitment to delivering cost-effective technology to help organizations preserve official records in accordance with the strict legal requirements needed to manage vital company information.”
