Synopsis: |
The Ministry of Defence is currently replacing hundreds of existing computer systems with a single new system, called the Defence Information Infrastructure (DII). The programme to design, install and run this is being led by the ATLAS consortium. The programme began in March 2005 and will cost an estimated GBP 7.1 billion by 2015, if fully implemented. The implementation has suffered major delays. The main causes of the delay of terminal installation being over-optimistic assumptions about the condition of the buildings into shich DII would be fitted. The DII Programme also provides a range of core software such as word process, email, internet access and security. This should all have been available in June 2006, but less than half of the requirement had been delivered two years later. As a result of these problems, the Department's existing computer systems have had to be used for longer than intended with the increased risk that one or more of them will fail.On the bases of a report by the Comptroller and Auditor General, the Committee examined the Ministry of Defence on the difficulties experienced on the DII Programme in the past and the measures put in place to deliver improvement in future. |
