Excerpt
Excerpt: In December 1994, the Department of Commerce awarded a contract to develop CAMS, an important effort to improve and unify financial management throughout the Department. This major system1 is one of Commerce?s largest information technology investments: from FY 1995 through 2001 the Department estimates that it spent $150 million on developing, deploying, and operating CAMS. The Office of Inspector General has identified the system?s successful implementation as one of the Department?s top 10 management challenges. CAMS is now the official accounting system for Bureau of the Census and seven of the Department?s operating units whose accounting functions are handled by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Information provided to us by the Department indicates that an additional $92 million will be spent in FY 2002 and FY 2003 to develop and deploy CAMS at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NIST and to operate the system.
