Abstract
The Infrastructure Engineering Directorate of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Center for Information Management is responsible for defining an information utility to provide data processing, storage, and value-added services to DOD users. One of the key questions on how to structure the utility is whether to contract for services or provide them within DOD. The primary goal of PEG is to aid in answering this question. Present procurement regulations and practices lead to long procurement and installation delays when compared to commercial practice. The age of the government installed base is far higher than in industry (see references 1&2). These effect the potential cost of government-provided services. Key information utility questions include:
-
What are the key parameters that affect the outsourcing decision?
-
What products or services are more efficiently outsourced?
-
What products or services are more cost effectively provided by the government?
-
How do government procurement delays affect costs?
-
How does the age of installed equipment affect costs?
-
What is the most cost effective equipment turnover rate?
