USDA Information Management: Extensive Improvements Needed in Managing Information Technology Investments

Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date May 14, 1997
Report No. T-AIMD-97-90
Subject
Summary:

The Department of Agriculture (USDA) needs effective and efficient information systems if it is to work better and cost less in the 21st century. Unfortunately, USDA has a long history of poorly planning and managing investments in information technology. Because of its poor track record, USDA needs to demonstrate to Congress that it has made progress in implementing recent legislation that provides a framework for making sound decisions on information technology. USDA also needs to show that is has strengthened Departmentwide leadership, accountability, and oversight of the acquisition and use of information technology investments before millions more are spent on additional investments. Until and unless USDA can do so, Congress may wish to limit funding for USDA's information technology to critical information technology needs required to support ongoing operations. Otherwise, USDA risks continuing its pattern of wasting taxpayer dollars on information technology projects that are poorly planned and managed.
