Buck McKeon Chairman The Honorable Adam Smith Ranking Member Committee on Armed Services House of Representatives The Honorable K. Michael Conaway House of Representatives The Honorable Robert Andrews House of Representatives Subject: DOD Financial Management: Reported Status of Department of Defense's Enterprise Resource Planning Systems1 In October 2010, we reported on the status of the Department of Defense's (DOD) enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.2 In that report, we noted that several of these systems were not being implemented on schedule and within budget, necessitating the extended use and funding of existing, duplicative, stove-piped systems. DOD considers the successful implementation of these systems critical to transforming its business operations and addressing long-standing weaknesses in areas such as financial and supply chain management. DOD officials also stated that these systems are critical to ensuring the department meets its mandated September 30, 2017, goal to have auditable consolidated financial statements. 3 As agreed with your staff, our objective was to provide updated information on DOD's reported status for each of these ERP systems as of December 31, 2011. 1An ERP system is an automated system using commercial off-the-shelf software consisting of multiple, integrated functional modules that perform a variety of business-related tasks such as general ledger accounting, payroll, and supply chain management. 2GAO, DOD Business Transformation: Improved Management Oversight of Business System Modernization Efforts Needed, GAO-i 1-53 (Washington, D.C.: Oct. 7, 2010). 3See National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010, Pub.
