It also means that software that has been certified by JITC represents one approach to managing electronic records. While NARA endorses the testing process, however, NARA does not endorse specific commercial products that have been certified as 5015.2-STD compliant. I am delighted by the progress made in this area, but agencies must be made aware that the move towards electronic recordkeeping is more complicated than simply purchasing a 5015.2-certified records management application. Further agency analysis needs to be carried out to evaluate technical and business requirements that must be considered when automating records management, including human factors, ease of integration, scalability, system performance, reliability and provider stability. JITC posts summary reports of their testing results for each certified product on the web page.
Certifications are valid for two years.
