Case Study: National Archives and Records Administration achieves a stronger modernization business case with PRICE Systems

National Archives and Records Administration reduces data conversion and storage costs with PRICE Systems

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) partnered with PRICE Systems to address the challenge of justifying the investment for its Electronic Records Archives modernization program. NARA needed to develop a robust business case analysis and life cycle cost estimate for technical alternatives to preserve essential government digital records for oversight bodies.

PRICE Systems implemented a methodology that analyzed current systems, projected future workloads, and estimated costs. This process identified significant cost avoidance opportunities, including drastically reducing the expense of converting and storing data. The analysis from PRICE Systems provided NARA with the quantified business case needed to secure approval for the program.
