FBI continues push to improve records management
By Wilson P. Dizard III
To get a grip on its files, the FBI is busy converting 750,000 documents a
day to a common electronic format.
The bureau is scanning its records at a facility dubbed the DocLab. The
DocLab uses a dirty optical character reader process, as opposed to a
corrected OCR process, to speed up operations, said William L. Hooton,
assistant director of the FBI’s new Records Management Division. “We just
don’t have the time right now to do very high-quality OCR,” he said. The
purpose of scanning the records is to create databases to which the bureau
can apply data mining techniques, Hooton said.

SBA using Web for backup, recovery
By Jason Miller
As part of an agencywide desktop client and network upgrade, the Small
Business Administration has moved its data backup and recovery operations to
the Web. SBA hired Iron Mountain Inc. of Boston for electronic datavaulting
services using software from LiveVault Corp. of Marlborough, Mass.
The one-year contract with Iron Mountain will cost SBA $30 to $50 per
gigabyte of data stored. SBA stores about 200G, said Sherry Hill, the SBA
project manager.
“The main force behind this was to reduce the risk of the staff not being
able to do its job,” said Larry Barrett,the agency’s CIO. “We always had
procedures in place to do backup and recovery, but it was manual anddependent
usually on one person. We wanted to explore ways to automate to give us
greater security and store
the data offsite.”
