Data Processing Costs

Can Be Reduced At Army And

Air Force Exchange Service


On two recent computer buys, the Army
and Air Force Exchange Service spent up to
$4.5 million more than necessary because
It did not buy the computers competitively
and did not adequately define its computer
needs. Further, its projects for developing
software have substantially exceeded cost
and time estimates because sound control
ractices have not been followed.

Such excess expenditures and delays will
continue unless Department of Defense
policies for computer acquisition and man-
agement are enforced at the Exchange Serv-
ice and top management becomes actively
involved. GAO recommends ways to im-
prove data processing management, and
recommends that a projected $20 million
computer procurement be suspended until
it is adequately justified.
