Follow-Up Review on the Equipment Management Information System

Report 98-42, January 1999




Report Summary

  • The Department of Management Services has taken some steps to enhance the Equipment Management Information System (EMIS) to meet agency fleet management needs. These steps have resulted in more agencies being satisfied with the performance of the current EMIS system. However, an improved system is still needed to assist agencies with their fleet management needs.
  • The 1998 Legislature appropriated $300,000 for the Department of Management Services to redesign EMIS. The department concluded through its research that redesigning EMIS would be more cost-effective than buying commercial fleet management software. However, the State Council on Competitive Government is still considering competitive bidding for a new system.
