Analysis of ADEA's (Army Development and Employment Agency) Automated Data Processing (ADP) Survey

Abstract

This report presents the results of a broad survey of users and potential users of Automated Data Processing (ADP) and Automated Data Processing Equipment (ADPE) at the Army Development and Employment Agency (ADEA) conducted during the period June - July 1987. The ADEA Automated Support System (A2S2) was designed in 1983 to support a user-base of 125 nodes concurrently on a centralized computer network, but by the time of the survey, the user-base had grown to over 300 people. A2S2 performance decreased as the user-base increased causing numerous ADP problems for its users. This survey was designed to identify these problems and to determine ADEA's future ADP/ADPE needs. This report examines data collected from 278 respondents to the survey and presents it through descriptive statistical means. The data one objective, presented in summary form and not interpreted to any great degree. Topics of greater interest are presented in graphic form. No follow-up interviews were conducted to help qualify the results of these data.
