Two news sources discuss budget requests by the Secret Service for upgrades to their IT systems:

Although both articles refer to problems with the USSS "communications" systems, a deeper read seems to indicate the problems exist with computer networks and information security.
In addition, there is congressional testimony that you can read here:

There is some reference to incompatible "telecommunications" between the US Secret Service and the White House Communications Agency (WHCA), but again, I think it refers more towards computer network and phone communications.
