and when my agency did multiple re-orgs over the years (first changing the alignment away from the original number of HHS Regions, then re-doing the Regions a couple more times years after that), they neglected the fact that the many data systems we used, were specifically coded for our specific geographic locations, and now they suddenly tossed out those locations.
That meant a nightmare for the programmers in order to ensure that the deprecated/archived data, could be cross-checked to correspond with what would be the new. And this included systems that tracked FTE workload hours in order to tie them in with any mandated Congressionally-funded programmatic work, as well as the regular BA (Budget Authority) work, in order to produce reports for Congress - either on-demand and/or annually, as well as to satisfy any financial data audits.
