The IRS Business Systems Modernization (BSM) program is a multi-billion dollar, high risk, highly complex effort that involves the development and delivery of a number of modernized systems that are intended to replace the agency's aging business and tax processing systems.

Most organizations rely on complex enterprise information systems (EISs) to codify their business practices and collect, process, and analyze business data. These EISs are large, heterogeneous, distributed, constantly evolving, dynamic, long-lived, and mission critical. In other words, they are a complicated system of systems. As features are added to an EIS, new technologies and components are selected and integrated. In many ways, these information systems are to an enterprise what a brain is to the higher species--a complex, poorly understood mass upon which the organism relies for its very existence. To optimize business value, these large, complex systems must be modernized--but where does one begin? This book uses an extensive real-world case study (based on the modernization of a thirty year old retail system) to show how modernizing legacy systems can deliver significant business value to any organization.

Since 1995, the DoD¿s business systems modernization program has been designated as high risk, and it continues to do so today. To assist in addressing DoD's business system modernization challenges, the Nat. Defense Authorization Act for FY 2005 contains provisions that require the DoD to take certain actions and to annually report to its congressional committees on these actions.

To do so, the auditor reviewed, for ex., the latest version of DoD's business enterprise architecture and transition plan, investment mgmt. policies and procedures, and information in the dep¿t. business system data repositories. Includes recommendations. Illus.
