Strategic Information Plan 2001-2005

Abstract

The goal of the Army Research Laboratories (ARL) is to produce "one, united Army Research Laboratory with standard business practices, concentrated teamwork, and less bureaucracy supported by a corporate information management environment where personnel, financial, accounting, acquisition, and material functions operate uniformly throughout ARL." The purposes of the Strategic Information Plan are as follows: enable the execution of the Research & Development mission, provide world class support to all of ARL's customers, ensure constant process improvement, protect information, provide appropriate access to information, share information, and ensure wise investment of financial and human resources. As these objectives are met, a vision of "One ARL" will emerge in which business process enhancement tools, such as workflow management, knowledge management, portals, and eBusiness solutions will provide direct and measurable benefits to the ARL user. There will be immediate and effective electronic access to the information warehouse that constitutes ARL's intellectual property along with emerging capabilities that allow integrated voice, data, and video over the same network medium. The ARL Strategic Information Plan applies to all ARL organizations, ARL contractors, and ARL tenants on other installations. A world-class infrastructure encompasses two complementary factors, State-of-the-Art Technologies and Best of Breed Information Technology Practices. Thirteen components constitute the infrastructure: (1) voice communications; (2) video communications; (3) radio, wireless and satellite communications; (4) data communications; (5) desktop computer support; (6) management and business applications; (7) library and knowledge management; (8) visual production (graphics and publications); (9) records and document management; (10) information technology management; (11) information plans and policies; (12) facilities and space; and (13) people - trained and productive7
