Upgrading an Office Automation Environment: The Army's DCSPER Automation Project.

摘要

The DCSPER Automation Project, a special assistance project conducted from January to May 1991, was chartered to evaluate the current1 Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (ODCSPER) computing environment, particularly in terms of its support of ODOSPER office automation, and recommend office automation enhancements. The project was asked to complete its evaluation and brief results within a time frame of four months. To complete the project within the stipulated time frame, the project developed a questionnaire that all ODOSPER staff were asked to complete. Development was based on extensive discussions with ODCSPER's Information Management Organization (IMO) and Plans, Analysis, and Evaluation directorate (DAPE-ZXP), conducted early in the project's life cycle. The questionnaire was sent to 329 people, and 174 responses (53 percent) were received. This Note, the project's final report, presents questionnaire results and recommendations. It also discusses organizational issues associated with the recommendations.
