Aerospace Corporation, reviewed the SAIC software at a cost of $2 million and determined it should be abandonedAero also suggested they consider COTS software, which I presume to be Lotus Notes or something similar.
IMHO $100 million (or whatever the final price was) is really excessive for this sort of application.

The virtual case file software might be less costly, but the "tracking terrorist" software implies something much more complicated.

I just posted part of Punaro's proposed testimony to the Senate with a link to the rest.
It includes the basic outline of what the FBI expected in software and what SAIC actually delivered: Punaro's Testimony
