DEFENSE COMPUTERS: Improvements to DOD Systems Inventory Needed for Year 2000 Effort

Abstract

A critical step in solving the Year 2000 problem is to conduct an enterprise wide inventory of information systems for each business area to establish the necessary foundation for Year 2000 program planning. A thorough inventory also ensures that all systems are identified and linked to a specific business area or process, and that all enterprise wide cross-boundary systems1 are considered. In addition, the inventory can play a critical role in the later stages of Year 2000 correction. For example, it can help an organization identify connections, also called interfaces, between systems and the need for additional testing facilities, and can help ensure that the most mission-critical systems are receiving enough attention.
