U.S. Navy Next-Gen Enterprise Network Headed For Disaster

After a decade of operating the world's largest intranet with a single contractor in charge, the U.S. Navy has decided to replace it with something more fashionable.

It plans to unbundle the functions required to sustain the network and hold a series of competitions each year to see who can offer the best deal, with the Navy itself overseeing the integration of suppliers and services.

In theory, the new approach will provide greater functionality and flexibility to users, of whom there are 700,000. In practice, the new approach is an operational and budgetary disaster in the making.
