GAO reviewed the improvement actions taken by the Government Printing Office (GPO) in response to a prior report on improving the utilization and management of automatic data processing (ADP) resources.
GAO found notable improvements being made in the management and application of ADP resources at GPO although not all of the problems discussed in the original report have been satisfactorily resolved. GAO previously estimated that, if suggested changes are appropriately carried out, financial benefits in ADP and other operational areas could gradually build to an annual level of $2.8 million over the next 3 to 5 years. Based on progress made to date, this estimate continues to appear realistic.
