(NARA) has been working to develop a modern Electronic Records Archives (ERA) system, a major information system that is intended to preserve and provide access to massive volumes of all types and formats of electronic records. The system is being developed incrementally over several years; the first system increment is to provide an initial set of functions, with additional capabilities to be added in future increments. However, in 2007, NARA¿s contractor acknowledged that it would not be able to meet the planned date for the initial operational capability of the first ERA increment. This report provides information on the steps that NARA has taken to respond to the delays encountered in the dev¿t. Tables.
