Audit report - audit of Spectrum Application Modernization – Commercial Software Implementation / Audit and Evaluation Branch.: Iu4-183/2012E-PDF
"The Spectrum Application Modernization – Commercial Software Implementation (SAM-CSI) project represents a major effort to stabilize and replace the existing legacy Spectrum Management System (SMS). It is one of the largest systems initiatives undertaken by Industry Canada in the past decade, and is a key departmental priority. The project is administered by the Spectrum Management Operations Branch in the Spectrum, Information Technologies and Telecommunications Sector (SITT). The SAM-CSI project was conceived to address the impact of aging IT applications on the Spectrum Management program. The diverse and complex SMS has become difficult to maintain and is a limiting factor in the continuing evolution of the program. SAM-CSI is pursuing a “Commercial-Off-The-Shelf” (COTS) software solution, as opposed to in-house custom development, to replace the outdated SMS system. The future system will provide new ways of issuing and managing radiocommunications licences in real time with a more streamlined automated process and a more stable core system. The vendor selected to provide the solution has an international client base, which will allow the program to leverage global expertise in Spectrum Management. In accordance with the approved Industry Canada 2011-14 Multi-Year Risk-Based Audit Plan, the Audit and Evaluation Branch undertook an audit of the Spectrum Application Modernization – Commercial Software Implementation project. This audit revealed that the SAM-CSI project has established, with some exceptions, adequate and effective controls to support the pre-established outputs and outcomes in the areas of: change management, user requirements and solutions definition, project management, and vendor and contract management”--Executive summary.
