Veterans Affairs: Continued Focus on Critical Success Factors Is Essential to Achieving Information Technology Realignment
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) spends nearly $1 billion
yearly to support its information technology (IT) needs; yet it
has encountered persistent challenges in managing IT projects. In
October 2005, VA initiated a realignment to centralize its IT
management program that it plans to complete by July 2008. GAO
was requested to determine (1) whether the department's
realignment plan includes critical factors for successful
implementation and (2) how the centralized management approach is
to ensure that the chief information officer (CIO) is accountable
for the department's entire IT budget. To do so, GAO identified
critical success factors, analyzed realignment and budget
documents, and held discussions with VA officials.
