Defense Security Assistance Management System (DSAMS) Part 2
Abstract
The feature article of the summer issue of the DISAM Journal discussed the background and development methodology of the Defense Security Assistance Management System (DSAMS). This article continues the discussion of DSAMS with an update on development efforts during the summer and a look at some details of the actual software. Multi-service Case Execution teams continue defining case execution requirements of the new system. Many execution process reviews will be complete by the end of 1998, but this effort will continue into next year as a single team integrates the various teams' work products. A second team will tackle the remaining processes needed for full Case Execution functionality. The DSAMS team tested and deployed DSAMS Release 4 toward the end of the summer. This release updated the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software and was needed to ensure the DSAMS application would be Year 2000 (Y2K) compliant. Release 5 has additional case development capabilities and will be distributed this fall. Additional Navy and Air Force sites will begin using the Release 5 software during the winter and spring months. Army use of DSAMS will begin as soon as data conversion issues are resolved.
