Harris Corporation Selected for $10 Million Design and Analysis
Phase of the Electronic Records Archive Program WASHINGTON, Aug. 3
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A team led by Harris Corporation
(NYSE:HRS) has been selected for a one-year, $10 million design and
analysis phase of the Electronic Record Archives (ERA) program by
the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The
ERA program will enable NARA to authentically preserve and provide
access to electronic archival records, free from dependency on any
specific hardware or software. Harris is leading one of the two
remaining teams competing for the eight-year ERA system development
and support contract that is currently scheduled for award in
August 2005. The announcement was made during a press conference at
NARA headquarters in Washington, D.C. "This is a very exciting
opportunity for Harris to apply its proven capabilities in
large-volume data processing, archiving, access, ingest and
distributed Web-based technology," said Al Dukes, president, Civil
Programs business unit, Harris Government Communications Systems
Division (GCSD). "We are very pleased that NARA -- a brand new
customer for Harris -- has entrusted us to lead one of the industry
teams for the fly-off phase of the program." Harris is acting as
the prime systems integrator for its team, leading the development,
integration, deployment and operation of the total archiving
solution for NARA. Other team members are Booz, Allen and Hamilton,
CACI International, Inc. and Information Manufacturing Corporation.
Once complete, the ERA will be able to accept any type of
electronic record, including federal, presidential and other
records of significant historical value that are created using any
kind of application on any computing platform, and will be able to
provide search and retrieval to anyone with an interest and a legal
right of access. Harris GCSD, one of four divisions within Harris
Corporation, conducts advanced research studies, develops
prototypes, and produces, supports and services state-of-the-art,
assured communications(TM) systems and information solutions that
solve the mission-critical challenges of its military and
government customers, while serving as the technology base for the
company's diverse commercial businesses. Harris Corporation, which
also provides tactical radio, microwave, broadcast and network
products and systems, serves customers in more than 150 countries.
