| Overview
 |
| CEM provides strategic, technical, and program management advice and counsel to the IRS Modernization Program and—with the concurrence of the IRS—to other select civilian government entities with large-scale modernization challenges. |
In the fall of 1998, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) opened a competition
for a new Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) to
assist in the ongoing effort to modernize the agency and its systems for
tax administration. Citing the MITRE Corporation's ability to bring all
its considerable experience and expertise to bear on their behalf, its
comprehensive understanding of the IRS's problems, and its ability to
field a coherent team, the IRS chose MITRE. Under the sponsorship of the
IRS, MITRE established and began operation of the FFRDC then known as
the Center for Strategic Tax Administration Modernization (CSTAM). (View
sponsoring agreement.)
Today, that FFRDC, now known as the Center for Enterprise Modernization
(CEM), advances enterprise modernization and more effective operations
within the IRS and across a wide range of civilian government agencies.
By adopting each customer's mission as our own, CEM fosters practical,
responsive partnerships dedicated to improving business processes, systems,
and governance.
