Computer Output Microforms Program and Concept Study (COMPACS) Report.

Abstract

The purpose of COMPACS was to conduct a program and systems development study for converting the Army's Base Operating Information System (BASOPS) to Computer Output Microfiche (COM). Through appropriate testing at four of the Army's 42 BASOPS installations and analysis of data collected at all other BASOPS installations, the Study Group validated those outputs capable of being converted to microfiche. The Group also determined the equipment required to satisfy user requirements; determined that the BASOPS-COM Microform Document Information System (MICRODIS) IS COST-EFFECTIVE; AND DEVELOPED A PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTING A STANDARD BASOPS-COM MICRODIS at all BASOPS installations. The study found that COM was a desirable, feasible, and economical means of producing at least 80% of the BASOPS outputs. The Group also developed appropriate standards, implementation plans, and extension schedules for converting all BASOPS installations to COM.
