GAO reports on DHS HR IT failures

Homeland Security: Oversight of Neglected Human Resources Information Technology Investment Is Needed, GAO-16-253: Published: Feb 11, 2016. Publicly Released: Feb 25, 2016: “DHS’s human resources administrative environment includes fragmented systems, duplicative and paper-based processes, and little uniformity of data management practices, which according to DHS, are compromising the department’s ability to effectively carry out its mission. DHS initiated HRIT in 2003 to consolidate, integrate, and modernize DHS’s human resources information technology infrastructure. In 2011, DHS redefined HRIT’s scope and implementation time frames…The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has made very little progress in implementing its Human Resources Information Technology (HRIT) investment in the last several years. This investment includes 15 improvement opportunities; as of November 2015.”
