The Postal Service’s IT infrastructure includes thousands of routers, switches, virtual private network gateways, firewalls, voice over internet protocol equipment, and other devices that support the delivery of business systems and IT-enabled processes. These network devices must be monitored, maintained, and replaced appropriately to provide a high-level of network performance and prevent unwanted outages. Our objective was to determine whether the Postal Service is effectively managing End-of-Life (EOL) network devices.

For more than 200 years, the Postal Service has been a mainstay in rural America, which the OIG found values the Postal Service for not just its package and mail services but also its presence in the community. For example, more than half (56 percent) of rural customers know either their postmaster, clerk, or carrier by name. The OIG found that this type of familiarity drives positive experiences at post offices generally. To examine how rural Americans currently engage with the Postal Service, the OIG fielded a nationally-representative survey of rural and non-rural Americans, hosted a moderated online discussion board, and conducted interviews with Postal Service employees and executives.
