Audit criticizes overhaul of computer network

computer broadband TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A state audit says the Kansas Department of Revenue’s $34 million overhaul of the state’s computer operations was not managed properly by the revenue department or the 3M company.

The audit released Thursday to a joint Legislative committee says the project produced a motor vehicle network plagued by technical problems. Auditors also said implementation of a new driver’s license system may be four years too late.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports the auditors said state revenue department staff did not properly oversee the project, and 3M Company did not deliver services it had promised.

Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan told the committee that the effort to convert state vehicle and license connections with 105 counties was more complex than expected. He also noted the project started under the previous Democrat administration.
