and communication technologies for the Court of
Accounts» – with a deadline of 18 months . This way,
equipment and software-products will be installed
on 32 items (25 hardware and 7 software) .
In parallel, the internal network of the Court of
Accounts was designed and created, which was
put into operation along with the new premises
and is expected to be extended to implement IP
telephony .
To perform the contract on the delivery of “Integrated
solution of information and communication
technologies for the Court of Accounts” the following
have been completed:
the server room has been reassembled and
refurbished to house new equipment and
servers; and
working groups were created for the development
and implementation of each individual
software solution .
In November the equipment for the server room
was delivered and installed: 8 servers, the storage
device, hyper-performance tape library, and the
equipment for communication and connection
management .
In November-December, laptops, computers
and printers have been delivered and distributed .
According to the implementation plan, the
specifications were developed and approved for
three of four software components, to be used for
testing purposes by the year end .
So, the moderate approach to the level of automation
and complexity of chosen solutions was
appropriate to the needs, capabilities and maturity
of the Court of Accounts .
The area of highest concern is the implementation
of an information system for financial data
analysis . Although the working group responsible
for carrying out this component included the best
specialists in the fields, due to a number of objec-
tive and subjective reasons, the specifications were
not properly completed and approved . The major
impediments are:
diversity of information sources necessary to
be included;
low level of automation of the work of major
budget managers;
the resistance of some central authorities’
representatives to constructive cooperation;
the inability of the CoA responsible persons
to constructively describe the data required
for audit, analysis, generalization and reporting
.
The implementation of “Integrated solution of
information and communication technologies for
the Court of Accounts” project is a complex and integral
one . Its accomplishment cannot be doubted,
but the efficiency and coherence of certain solutions
may be affected by factors that cannot be
handled . In this case we need much more time to
devote to the development and approval of technical
tasks, and CoA employees should show higher
interest and commitment to the successful implementation
of each individual component and of
the project as a whole .
