draft - DOE Oak Ridge Operations - U.S. Department of Energy

Estimated Cost: $100K for contractor support (with expertise in operating/analyzingcorporate support centers) to assist Oakland in gathering information, recommendingsolutions, etc.10. TRAININGPurpose/Description: To establish and maintain an IT staff (both federal andcontractor) that is highly trained in the IT technologies, concepts, processes, etc. that arerequired by the SC sites. Through a collaborative training plan/approach, it is expectedthat significant cost savings can be achieved and beneficial “cross-fertilizing” of ideas,etc. among the staff will be realized.DRAFTStrategy/Approach: Once SC has a documented information architecture (in draftform), an outside training provider will assess and document the type and level of ITtraining needed across SC the planned IA. It is expected that the effort will begin bydocumenting (1) the training/skill set of all staff members (federal and contractor), (2) thetechnologies/capabilities currently requiring support, and (3) the technologies/capabilitiesexpected to be needed over the next 1-2 years. Then a gap analysis will be conductedto identify training needs, both individually and SC-wide. Once SC’s collective IT trainingneeds are identified, an SC-wide training plan will be prepared where courses/programscan be arranged for folks from all SC sites to participate in.Major Objective(s): An SC IT Training Plan by June 30, 2000, assuming sufficientprogress is made on the information architecture project.Lead Responsibility: OAK will take the lead on this project; however, all assistance incollecting baseline information will be required from all sites.Estimated Cost: $5K (although possibly $0) for a contractor to assess our trainingneeds and propose an approach. The cost could be higher (e.g., $50K) if we direct thecontractor to collect the baseline data.11. CYBER SECURITYPurpose/Description: To ensure information sharing and collaborative assistanceamong all SC sites regarding DOE cyber security requirements. Increasingrequirements are expected, and collaboration among the sites is expected to bringefficiencies.Strategy/Approach: SC HQ will be the focal point for ensuring that information isshared in a timely manner regarding cyber security. SC HQ will prepare an SC HQCyber Security Plan that can be used as a model by all sites. SC HQ will conductperiodic televideo meetings to share information and reduce duplicative efforts.Oak Ridge OperationsInformation Management Plan8/5/97 C-7Revision 0
