T B.2: Mobility
Make all technology available to employees wherever they work or travel. Other Information:
The FBI must provide tools that will allow it to take full advantage of surge capabilities and make additional or specialized
personnel available wherever they are needed to address threats. This may mean that an employee in Phoenix will be temporarily
assigned to work on an issue for Los Angeles or Headquarters, without ever leaving his or her desk. Information technology
will be at the forefront of that toolset as employees will need to store the results of their collection efforts; retrieve
and correlate from the larger pool of available information; and share the resulting intelligence. In order to implement this
vision, all relevant information technology must be potentially accessible and transferable to any employee in any office.
The FBI’s Trilogy project has begun that process by upgrading to communications facilities, network servers, and desktop workstations
that can accommodate the same enhanced technologies. The future challenge is to continue upgrading in order to keep pace with
the technical prowess of our adversaries. Priority Actions: Complete Trilogy upgrades currently underway. Ensure a technology
refresh cycle of 36 months for mission-oriented work. Establish and implement a plan to make all technology available to any
employee at any fixed office location.
