In 2008, CTG participated in the New York State E-Records Workgroup that produced the report, A Strategy for Openness: Enhancing E-Records Access in New York State. The report examines how the state can provide choice, interoperability, and vendor neutrality in electronic document creation while ensuring electronic records are preserved and remain accessible. It also makes recommendations to promote openness and transparency aimed at ensuring public records remain freely accessible, rather than locked into proprietary systems and software applications.
