The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is in the process of modernizing its information technology (IT) systems. Replacing much of its 1980s-based technology with modern system applications and supporting technical infrastructure, this modernization is intended to enable the FBI to take an integrated, agencywide approach to performing its critical missions, such as federal crime investigation and terrorism prevention. At the request of the Congress, GAO has conducted a series of reviews of the FBI's modernization management. GAO was requested to testify on the bureau's progress to date in several areas of IT management. In addition, GAO discusses the importance of these areas for maximizing the prospects for success of the bureau's ongoing and future IT system investments, including the FBI's flagship Sentinel program; this program replaces the bureau's failed Virtual Case File project and aims to acquire and deploy a modern investigative case management system. In this testimony, GAO relied extensively on its previous work on the FBI's management of its IT processes, human capital, and tools, and it obtained updates on these efforts through reviews of documentation and interviews with responsible FBI officials, including the Chief Information Officer (CIO). https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-1014T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-1014T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-1014T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-1014T.pdf GAO-05-1014T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-1014T Testimony GAO-05-1014T; Information Technology: FBI Is Building Management Capabilities Essential to Successful System Deployments, but Challenges Remain; Chief information officers Enterprise architecture Information resources management Information systems Information technology Internal controls Investment planning Systems development life cycle Agency missions Standards Human capital policies Systems evaluation Policies and procedures Title 40 Section 11101-11703 40 U.S.C. 11101-11703
