Watchdog: IRS botched Linux migration
Poor IT governance prevented the IRS from making progress on a long-term effort to migrate 141 legacy applications from proprietary vendor software to open source Linux operating systems, according to an audit by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
Under a migration plan developed in 2014, two-thirds of targeted applications and databases were supposed to have been successfully migrated by December 2016.
However, only eight of the 141 applications targeted have successfully transitioned to Linux as of February 2018. More than one third have not even started.
