T F.1: E-Records
Establish an electronic record keeping system. Other Information:
The FBI collects and produces a tremendous number of documents while performing its mission, most of which constitute official
records. Dramatic efficiencies can be achieved if the FBI adopts an electronic record keeping system. The FBI’s official system
of records is currently paper-based and decentralized, and is maintained at 265 different locations, including FBI Headquarters,
field offices, resident agencies, some Legal Attaché offices, Investigative Technology Centers, and various offsite locations.
Advances in information technology provide an opportunity to dramatically improve the efficiency of this system of records,
which is so critical to operational and administrative functions. A principal goal of our modernization efforts is the adoption
of a Records Management Application that supports an electronic record keeping system for all legacy and future information
technology systems. Priority Actions: Centralize all FBI records. Acquire and implement a Records Management Application that
can address the record keeping requirements for all FBI legacy systems and the FBI’s future information technology systems.
Closely collaborate with NARA to ensure the electronic record keeping and automated record management applications meet all
requirements for an electronic record keeping system.
