Project Description:
The Enterprise Transformation Operation (ETO) FOIA Process Optimization project was initiated in December 2021 at the request of FDA senior leadership to provide an enterprise solution to replace the multiple Center investments in FOIA management tools to augment Agency Information Management System (AIMS) the current FDA FOIA tool used for tracking requests. Since AIMS was implemented the volume of requests has gone up but FDAs current technology has been unable to keep up with complexity and increased stakeholder FOIA requests over the years. There are new tools in the marketplace that provide automated features that will provide FDA the opportunity to address the backlog of requests and automate portions of the current manual processes.
The current FDA approach to FOIA is facilitated by DFOI and centrally tracked in AIMS but is largely Center based for individual processes and technology. Key processing steps (redaction de-duplication) and communication (outside of the tracking system) are manual and frequently executed in off-chain systems (such as Outlook and Adobe) that perpetuate disconnected inefficient approaches with limited end-to-end visibility. Centers/Offices are using different tools to facilitate processing of FOIA requests and an enterprise approach is desired.
Therefore the FOIA FDA has implemented an end-to-end technology platform within the AWS GovCloud to support a harmonized workflow that improves efficiencies communication and data sharing and reduces turnaround times for the FDA FOIA Program.
