Information technology as key enabler and a key risk in the A&D industry

Information technology (IT) systems are strained by high demands for security, regulatory compliance, consolidation of stand-alone operations, financial reporting and programme management. Ineffective IT controls can lead to a compromising of national security, loss of intellectual property, violations of export regulations, inadequate proof of compliance and production delays. In the wake of a long period of consolidation in the industry, A&D companies find the integration of IT systems to be a particular challenge. In addition to significant security and integration issues, Chief Information Officers have found that IT systems have failed to deliver the expected value.
