Bonneville's ADP Resource Management Controls Show Improvement, but More Needs To Be Done

Gao ID: AFMD-83-63 June 22, 1983

GAO reviewed the Bonneville Power Administration's (BPA) progress in making its automatic data processing (ADP) resource management controls effective.

GAO found that additional management controls and large-scale changes are needed to achieve effective and economical operations for computer systems integration, ADP resource management and use, computer protection, and contingency planning. GAO noted that BPA reliance on computer technology has increased and that an estimated $40 million will be spent to modernize and expand computer systems and facilities. GAO stated that, because of these actions, it is essential that BPA top management exercise oversight and commitment to the integration process.
