DOD Efforts to Implement Year 2000 Compliance for Electronic Data Interchange
Abstract
The primary audit objective was to determine whether the DoD electronic data interchange program complies with year 2000 requirements. The Military Services, the Defense Information Systems Agency, and the Defense Logistics Agency have made generally satisfactory progress in ensuring year 2000 compliance for their electronic data interchange systems. Twenty of 27 electronic data interchange systems identified by the Military Services, the Defense Information Systems Agency, and the Defense Logistics Agency were year 2000 compliant and one system, believed to be compliant, was being tested. Four of the non-compliant systems were expected to be compliant in February 1999, one in March 1999, and two in May 1999. One of the seven non-compliant systems was a mission critical Defense Logistics Agency system. The Joint Electronic Commerce Program Office and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence) co-chaired electronic commerce/electronic data interface assessment workshops to identify DoD electronic commerce/electronic data interface Y2K implementation issues and to facilitate resolution among the Military Components. Additionally, all 25 currently approved value added network providers had signed modified license agreements certifying that their systems were Y2K compliant.
