Review of Computer Applications and Programs (ROCAP).

Abstract

This study reviews the current Automatic Data Processing (ADP) posture of the Corps of Engineers and recommends a course of action that will make the best use of existing resources. Corps ADP is examined to ascertain the goals, resource commitments, and management philosophy that spurred its growth. Data were gathered from questionnaires completed by each Division Engineer and from extensive on-site interviews with all Division ADP coordinators and with numerous branch and office personnel in OCE and DA ADP offices. Contact was established with commercial firms to ascertain equipment improvement ideas and costs. Recommendations were made concerning resolution of the problems of competing systems and applications, standard system implementation schedules, capabilities enhancement options, management improvements, and development of a 5-year ADP program.
