RE: FUSIS Status








Madelyn:



This report serves as an overview of the current status of the FedEx Universal Security Information System (FUSIS).



FUSIS is a system of systems, encompassing all FedEx OpCo’s and virtually every aspect of Security-Related Activity. The system is designed to collect, store, transform, disseminate, analyzed and maintain data relevant to personnel from Security Employees up through the Chairman and CEO of FedEx Corporation.



FUSIS is comprised of a Case Management System, a series of direct data connections to data stores across all OpCo’s, a series of web forms to gather other data, a large SQL Server Database, a web-based portal, and a series of analytical, online reports.



As of July 23, 2004, there are 771 registered users of the system, and of those registered users, there are 243 Security Personnel with active case queues in the Case Management System (CMS). Of these 243 personnel with queues, 219 are listed as active, and all have accessed the system. Of the 219 active personnel, 130 have accessed the CMS in the past 30 days.



FUSIS is updated daily from the SIS Mainframe-based CMS, but there is not an update from FUSIS to SIS. This condition will not allow for simultaneous use of both systems, and will require a “cold start” of universal use of the FUSIS system.
