ADP Procurement: Army Accounting System Modernization

Abstract

In your letter of January 16, 1987, you requested that we review the Armys automation strategy and plans for modernizing its accounting systems. You were particularly concerned about the cost of the modernization and whether the Army's plan to replace automated data processing (ADI) equipment at the U.S. Army Finance and Accounting Center located at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, would unnecessarily restrict competition among vendors. You were also concerned that Army-wide restrictions on competition could result from the Armys effort to standardize all of its ADP architecture and operating systems, not just those that support accounting systems.
