BIA is no longer MIA online
November 17, 2009 - 6:00am
BIA launched a new website in October and is working on an internal portal to enhance collaboration among employees as well as other government agencies.
A seven-year legal dispute prevented BIA from having a website.
"{Members of the development team} were working like maniacs before last summer to get ready to be back on the Internet," said Al Foster, acting chief information officer at BIA.
According to BIA, the internal portal will be built on a standard and flexible platform. It will also have a robust enterprise search engine and could support secure single sign-on capabilities. It's expected to be complete in December.
In addition to a rebirth online, Foster says the network has undergone massive upgrades and security improvements.
"We are really in the midst of a technology revolution," Foster says.
