About EHRI

Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI) is one of five Office of Personnel Management (OPM) led e-Government initiatives designed to leverage the benefits of information technology. EHRI is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF), which protects information rights, benefits, and entitlements of federal employees.

The (eOPF) Program became a key EHRI effort when the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) mandated all Executive Branch agencies eliminate paper Official Personnel Folders (OPF) by December 2013.

Through on-demand Web-based access to personnel folders, EHRI eOPF enables 24/7 concurrent access to personnel information by Human Resources (HR) staff, managers, and employees. It also allows the electronic transfer of the eOPF from one agency to another when the employee moves from one organization to another. The suite of EHRI analytical tools and a comprehensive Data Warehouse provides on demand, custom reports to plan and forecast the personnel needs of the Federal Government.

One-stop Solutions for Agencies

With numerous eOPF implementations underway or completed, EHRI offers a standardized approach for HR record conversion, storage, access, sharing, and archiving. Solutions are customized to meet the needs of agencies of all sizes. EHRI also provides management oversight for paper OPF conversion and eOPF hosting as well as comprehensive support to guide agencies throughout the OPF conversion process.

"The improved security enabled by eOPF fulfills an important role in Continuity of Operations (COOP) in case of disaster. Special Investigators have also benefited from electronic folders, cutting the time it takes to review a folder almost in half, thereby better supporting national security interests. " — USAID
