Functional Description for a Replacement Input System
Abstract
The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) processes a large and growing volume of documents. It adds more than 48,000 new documents a year to its data bases and processes almost as many change transactions. In the past 6 years DTIC has experienced at least a 30 percent increase in demands for its services without corresponding increases in staff. The current input software is inadequate to support DTIC's needs as it is primarily batch oriented and is difficult to maintain. DTIC needs a replacement system which will increase staff productivity and document throughput. This functional description describes a system to meet those requirements. It features the following significant improvements: reduced document processing cost, reduced time for document microfilming and entry into the data bases, improved accuracy of data, and reduced effort to maintain or enhance the system. The functional descriptionals defines the methods and procedures used with the current system, the requirements for a replacement system, and alternative equipment approaches for meeting those requirements which will operate with existing DTIC hardware and software.
