Information Resources Management Environment Vision and Prescription. Version 1.1

Abstract

This paper outlines a vision for DLA's IRM environment in the mid- 1990s and beyond. It prescribes a re-engineered data, process, technology, and organizational environment intended to facilitate sharing of data, manufacturing of information systems components and the assembly of applications to a customer's order. Its tenets are achieved through a single image corporate data model of subject data bases, business process foundation modules, design to the 'State-of-the-Contract' technology policy, extensive use of information engineering and repository methodology, central development and maintenance of application components, distributed application assembly, open systems, and cooperative processing. It recognizes the need to make several paradigm shifts and prescribes alternative migration strategies including fresh start and cross model resolution evolutionary approaches.
