Keeping records adequately stored and in compliance with legal regulations is a difficult task that all tribal organizations face. In the last 10 years, many organizations have implemented electronic records management (ERM) systems to improve record keeping, increase security, reduce cost and space needs for records, and simplify the data search process. Designing and implementing an ERM system can be a daunting task. If you want to bring your organization into the digital age by streamlining data and document storage, this course is for you.

With expert Brian Pearson*, you’ll learn how to design or choose an ERM system that is right for your tribal organization while complying with federal regulations regarding data management and regulations specific to Indian Country. You’ll learn how to decide what kind of hardware and software to use, as well as how to design a user-friendly interface. Also included in this class is a demonstration of using a scanner to upload documents to a personal computer. You’ll leave this class knowing how to manage the transition of your organization’s system from basic records management to an electronic system. You’ll be aware of the ways to minimize conflict and maximize cooperation of your staff. Also, this class will discuss issues that can arise once you’ve successfully implemented or updated your tribal organization’s ERM system.
