The Postal Service uses a vast network of systems to collect, process, transport, and deliver nearly half of the world’s mail. The majority of these systems are classified as business applications because they support essential business functions, such as mail processing and delivery. To improve business operations and reduce cyber risk, the Postal Service invests in new and innovative applications and retires those that are outdated and no longer supported. Our objective was to assess the effectiveness of the Postal Service’s business application retirement process.
