Feith
State & local government

The records of record for states and the country's largest jurisdictions.

Built for state governments and the largest counties and cities in the country: jurisdictions whose records volume and statutory load look more federal than local. Public records on your state's statute, retention on your archives' schedule, a century of paper indexed without a rip-and-replace.

Who this is for

Built for the jurisdictions that operate at federal scale.

State governments. The country's largest counties. Its major cities. Where records run to the millions, the deadlines aren't negotiable, and the audit trail is the deliverable.

State governments

Statewide public records under your state's act, retention schedules that carry the force of law, and records spread across dozens of agencies. Feith runs the whole program on one platform, the same way it runs records for 60+ federal agencies.

Example roles
  • State records administrators and state records officers
  • State public records officers (RAO, PIO, by state)
  • State archives, general counsel, and CISO offices
See FOIA Workbench ›

The largest counties and major cities

The biggest clerk and records offices in the country: millions of documents under retention, public-records requests at volume, and a public-access portal the public actually uses. Plus big-city law departments and records units fielding request volumes that overwhelm ordinary tools. Feith was built for that volume. It digitizes the paper, runs the digital record, and keeps the audit trail intact.

Example roles
  • County records managers and clerk's offices in major metros
  • City clerks and municipal law departments
  • Records division leadership and county/city CIOs

    State corrections, major-metro police and sheriff's departments, and large DA offices.

    See Case Manager ›
  • Health and human services

    State Medicaid, vital records, child welfare, and licensing boards.

    See Case Manager ›
  • Land, permitting, infrastructure

    State DOTs, environmental agencies, and big-city planning and code enforcement.

The rules you already work under

Two state regimes. Three federal mandates. One platform configured to all five.

The platform learns your rules once and applies them on every record. After that, you spend your time on the calls only you can make.

State regimes
  • Your state's public records act

    The California Public Records Act, New Jersey's OPRA, New York's FOIL, Illinois' FOIA, the Texas Public Information Act, Florida's Public Records Act, and roughly 45 others, each with its own response standard, exemption library, fee structure, and appeal path. FOIA Workbench was built for the federal Freedom of Information Act and configures to each state's regime. Feith runs your statute as written — the deadlines, the exemptions, the fee schedule, and the appeal path your law defines.

  • Your state's retention schedule

    Every state archives publishes general and agency-specific retention schedules, and many jurisdictions give those schedules the force of law. RMA iQ carries them the same way it carries NARA schedules at the federal level: applied at the record level, with disposition logged.

Federal mandates
  • CJIS Security Policy

    The FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services policy governs how criminal-justice information is stored, transmitted, accessed, and audited, for sheriffs, municipal police, DA offices, state corrections, fusion centers, and the vendors handling records for them. Records held under it get the platform's access control, audit logging, and encryption in transit and at rest.

  • IRS Publication 1075

    Pub 1075 governs how state and local agencies handle Federal Tax Information: departments of revenue, child-support enforcement, unemployment insurance, income-verifying Medicaid agencies, and some DMVs. Records held under it get the platform's storage, access, and disclosure logging controls.

  • HIPAA Security Rule

    State Medicaid agencies, departments of health, vital-records offices, and any state agency acting as a covered entity or business associate. Feith supports the Security Rule's access management, audit logging, integrity controls, and transmission security.

The records layer underneath your stack

You already run Tyler, Accela, or Esri. Feith is the records layer they sit on.

Request platforms manage the inbox. Feith manages the record (capture, classify, retain, redact, release, dispose) in one governed system of record.

  • 01

    Records management as a discipline

    Classification at ingest, retention applied at the record level, disposition logged when it fires, and a chain of custody that survives a subpoena. Feith was built to be a system of record from the first commit. Your state archives configures the schedule; the platform applies it on every record.

  • 02

    Integrations into the systems you already run

    Pre-built connectors for the systems your staff lives in (Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, ArcGIS, ServiceNow, Documentum, OpenText, Laserfiche), plus an open REST API — we integrate the court, recording, and permitting platforms your jurisdiction runs as part of the project. The line-of-business app stays where it is; the record of what it produced lives in Feith.

  • 03

    One platform for records, public records, and case work

    State and local agencies usually buy these as three products from three vendors, with three integration projects to match. Feith runs all three as one system.

A government board meeting in session
Open meetings · open records

Every public meeting is a record with a clock on it.

Minutes, agendas, recordings, and the documents behind every vote fall under open-records law the moment a request lands. Feith captures them as they're created, applies the retention schedule, and produces the responsive set, with redactions logged, before the statutory deadline runs.

Institutional

Forty-seven years of government records work.

Government software vendors get acquired, rebranded, and sunset on a cycle far shorter than a records retention schedule. Feith doesn't work that way: founded in 1979 in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania; privately held, American-owned, and still run by the family that started it. A permanent schedule can outlast the people who set it — the vendor holding those records should be built to last as long, and across 47 years and 60+ government deployments, Feith has been.

Family-run

Federal agencies run their records on Feith today; the same platform runs state agencies, counties, and territories.
