What is OPRA?
OPRA (Open Public Records Act) is a law that ensures public access to government records. Agencies are required to receive, process, and respond to requests within defined timelines while maintaining transparency and compliance.
The Challenge
Managing OPRA requests manually often involves emails, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems. This leads to missed deadlines, limited visibility, duplicate work, and difficulty tracking request status or maintaining complete audit trails.
The Solution
OPRA records software provides a centralized system to capture, track, and manage all requests in one place. It automates intake, workflows, and notifications—eliminating manual processes and improving response times and compliance.
