Would Consolidation of Army Software Engineering Organizations Help to Control Software Costs for Current and Future Systems

Abstract

Software sustainment costs continue to rise as the Army increases use of complex software-intensive systems to support military operations and associated business functions. Various studies have identified potential processes and procedures to help control software costs; however, no study has been undertaken to determine whether organizational changes to the Army Materiel Commands (AMC) software support centers can improve performance and reduce costs.
