Summary:

The Coast Guard is now striving to realize its information technology (IT) management vision of being able to "deliver the right information to the right people at the right time" in order to support its various missions. GAO reviewed the Coast Guard's policies and procedures in the areas of investment management, architecture, software acquisition and development, information security, and human capital. GAO found that although the Coast Guard had many important IT management policies in place, it did not always implement them consistently. In addition, there were weaknesses in each of the key IT management areas.
