Office Automation in the Acquisition Environment,

Abstract

The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program embarked on automating the office functions associated with word processing, data delivery, financial and management information in March, 1981. This paper describes some of the planning, experiences, and lessons learned involved with automating the acquisition environment within the program. This description includes specifying the hardware, software, communications and interfaces involved in tying together not only the program office, but also the contractors, and operating and supporting agencies. Finally, the paper evolves recommendations for future directions in automating the acquisition environment. (Author)
