DHS IG Reports on Challenges for Coast Guard Information Technology Management

Coast Guard Has Taken Steps To Strengthen Information Technology Management, but Challenges Remain, OIG-11-108, September 2011.

  • “…the Coast Guard could improve information technology management in a number of areas. Specifically, Coast Guard systems and infrastructure do not fully meet mission needs. For example, Coast Guard field personnel do not have sufficient network availability, and the aging financial system is unreliable. In addition, command center and partner agency systems are not sufficiently integrated. These limitations have various causes, including technical and cost barriers, aging infrastructure that is difficult to support, and stovepiped system development. As a result, field personnel rely on inefficient work-arounds to accomplish their mission.”
