This book was released on 1995 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This audit was performed in response to a congressional inquiry regarding the Army's procurement of computer software services. On behalf of a constituent, Congressman Jim Talent requested the Inspector General, DoD, to review the contracting practices of the U.S. Army Security Assistance Command and the Systems Integration and Management Activity, both subordinate commands of the Army Materiel Command. The constituent alleged that fraud, waste, and mismanagement occurred on contracts used to develop computer software for the Security Assistance Automation, Army (SA3), and that the Army seldom or never used the developed software. The audit objectives were to determine whether the Army followed Federal and DoD acquisition regulations when awarding and administering computer software service contracts and to review internal controls applicable to the award and administration of the contracts. To adequately answer the allegations, we amended the audit objectives to focus on whether the Army's SA3 development followed required Defense and Army information system development policies and procedures. Additionally, we assessed internal controls as they applied to the development of SA3.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the state of the Army's information technology (IT) acquisition workforce, in light of the push for outsourcing. It then makes recommendations to improve the workforce. For the last few decades, a variety of market forces and government initiatives have pushed the Army to outsource IT system development. From having entire units of government programmers and hardware engineers, the Army has steadily moved toward outsourcing, using commercial industry to design and build its IT solutions. But at the same time the Army has moved away from designing and building its own IT systems, IT has become more prevalent and pervasive within the Army. It has become even more critical to Army success in the field. Almost every Army system fielded today contains some sort of computer system. In this era of net-centric warfare, these computer systems are expected to share information with each other securely and efficiently. It is these interconnections that have helped the Army fight and win in recent wars. There is mounting evidence in the military, the federal government, and private industry that too much outsourcing can be a bad thing. It can leave an organization without the talent needed to oversee the outsourced work, and eliminate a career ladder that allows Army IT leaders to learn their trade before making multi-million dollar procurement decisions. Congress has realized this in the last few years, and is beginning to push the armed services to strengthen their control over IT outsourcing efforts. This paper makes the case for the uniqueness of IT acquisition as compared to the acquisition of non-IT products and for the need of skilled and experienced Army IT acquisition professionals and leaders to oversee the contractors and ensure quality results. It analyzes the current Army IT acquisition workforce along with current Army and DoD policy. From this analysis, it determines that there is much confusion over the exact duties that the IT Acquisition Workforce should be performing, there is no single entity responsible for shaping and developing the workforce, there is inadequate technical education and training, and finally that there is a lack of hands-on development experience that would help in overseeing the commercial contractors doing the work. The paper offers several recommendations to strengthen the Army's IT acquisition workforce including: determining the specific duties and responsibilities of the IT Acquisition Professional, centrally managing the entire workforce, formalizing a mid-career hiring program, creating a non-management technical track, and keeping some technical work inhouse to train government personnel so that they can better understand and oversee contractor's technical efforts.

Book excerpt: We are providing this report for your information and use. This evaluation was performed at the request of the House Subcommittee on National Security, Committee on Appropriations. In FY 1988, Congress mandated the creation of the Reserve Component Automation System (RCAS), which was to provide the Army Reserve component with support for mobilization planning, execution, and management, as well as for day-to-day administrative tasks. From FYs 1988 through 1995, Congress imposed a series of restrictions on the Reserve Component purchase of computers outside the RCAS program. An informal survey conducted in mid-1995 by the Project Management Office of RCAS showed that the Army Reserve component had more than 12,000 modem computers. In the Conference Report to the FY 1996 DoD Appropriations Bill, the conferees questioned how the Reserve Component was able to obtain "such a large number of computers" despite the "very tight restrictions" imposed by Congress. We plan to issue a second report on a technical assessment of RCAS.
