Program Description |
|
The
mission of the Justice Consolidated Office Network (JCON) Program is
to provide interoperability among 12 of the Department of Justice's
litigating, management, and law enforcement components by implementing
a reliable, robust office automation infrastructure upon which they
can operate their mission critical applications. The Department expects
to add up to $33,000,000 to the $33,240,000 budget request, subject
to the availability of Working Capital Fund unobligated balance transfers. |
|
The
Department is committed to completing the deployment of the JCON architecture
as soon as possible. Several of the JCON components are currently operating
old office automation systems that are unreliable, lack proper security
controls, and cannot meet mission critical requirements for data processing
and electronic communication. Based on the rate of technology change,
computer systems quickly reach their life cycle maturity. Department
attorneys, managers, and law enforcement officials must have the ability
to collect, organize, analyze, and disseminate information easily and
reliably. |
