3 Where the current journey began Defence ICT in 2009 Characterised by unreliable, inefficient architecture. A massive range of applications with poor interoperability or serviceability. Significant customer frustration in trying to get business solutions or adequate ICT support. Relatively low levels of strategic investment. The then Secretary, Nick Warner, described the environment as a broken backbone.
