Information Technology: DOD Needs to Ensure That Navy Marine Corps Intranet Program Is Meeting Goals and Satisfying Customers
Abstract:
The Navy Marine Corps Intranet NMCI is a 10-year, 9.3 billion information technology services program. Through a performance-based contract, the Navy is buying network intranet, application, and other hardware and software services at a fixed price per unit or seat to support about 550 sites. GAO prepared this report under the Comptroller General s authority as part of a continued effort to assist Congress and reviewed 1 whether the program is meeting its strategic goals, 2 the extent to which the contractor is meeting service level agreements, 3 whether customers are satisfied with the program, and 4 what is being done to improve customer satisfaction. To accomplish this, GAO reviewed key program and contract performance management-related plans, measures, and data and interviewed NMCI program and contractor officials, as well as NMCI customers at shipyards and air depots.
