FOIA at a Crossroads: Rising Demand, Fewer Resources, and Aging Systems

FOIA programs are facing unprecedented pressure. Request volumes and data complexity continue to surge, public scrutiny is intensifying, and workforces are shrinking, while many agencies are relying on legacy systems built for a very different era. This whitepaper examines why FOIA is reaching a breaking point and what modernization truly requires.

Learn more about:

  • The compounding pressures driving FOIA backlogs, including record request growth, complex data types, and workforce constraints

  • How legacy and fragmented systems increase duplication, cost, and security risk across FOIA, eDiscovery, and legal hold workflows

  • How modern technology can scale FOIA operations through automation, analytics, and unified data discovery

  • Applying a more strategic approach to FOIA modernization that improves defensibility, transparency, and long-term sustainability
