White House’s Digital Government Strategy Highlights Importance of Easy Information Sharing

LONG BEACH, CA (Laserfiche)—June 4, 2012—On May 23, the White House issued a government-wide plan for providing better digital services to citizens, “Digital Government: Building a 21stCentury Platform to Better Serve the American People.”

In an accompanying memorandum, President Obama charged all federal agencies with “implement[ing] the requirements of the Strategy within 12 months.”On June 7, Laserfiche will host an online briefing to help government agencies understand the four main points of this strategy and outline how they can use enterprise Content Management Solutions (ECM) to meet the President’s mandate.

“This Strategy will enable our federal agencies—and the state and local government entities that look to their example—to be more agile, so they can deliver quicker, better and safer services at a lower cost to taxpayers,” said Kimberly Samuelson, Director of Government Strategy at Laserfiche.

Hosted by Samuelson and Evan Anderson, Federal Government Solutions Consultant at Laserfiche, the 60-minute briefing will take place on Thursday, June 7, at 11:00 am ET / 8:00 am PT. The briefing will explore the four main principles of the Strategy:

Information-centricity: Moving away from managing “documents” to ensuring that all information, regardless of its format, is accurate, available and secure.

Shared platform approach: Preventing duplication of effort and investment by sharing ownership of common service areas, along with IT infrastructure and systems.

Customer-centricity: Making it easy for citizens to find and share information and accomplish important tasks by providing anytime, anywhere information access on any device.

Platform of security and privacy: Ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of information.To reserve your seat at this informative online briefing, visit: http://www.laserfiche.com/en-us/Events/Webinars/SignUp/1948/3711
