FBI Tech Upgrade: Big Budget, Behind Schedule
The FBI is once again falling behind on its effort to upgrade its computer systems, AP reports. The first contract for the Sentinel program, designed to replace the failed Virtual Case File system, was to have been awarded by the end of last year. But the date has been pushed back because "we can't not do it right this time," an FBI official told AP. The agency is slated to spend $97 million on Sentinel this year, and is requesting $100 million for next year. That would push the total cost of the project above the $170 million that was spent on Virtual Case File.
