ARIMS
Abstract
ARIMS is the Army?s policy and enterprise system deployed to meet statutory (36 CFR) and regulatory (AR 25-1, AR 25-400-2) requirements to manage records that document the policies, decisions, and actions of the Army both as a military department and federal institution. ARIMS provides approximately 64,000 (FY 2018) users with tools and capabilities to collect and preserve Army records, serves as the records management component of Army Knowledge On-Line, and the Secretary of the Army has mandated its use to collect and preserve Army records. ARIMS is replicated on the SIPRNet with ARIMS-Classified (ARIMS-C) to provide similar capabilities for the collection and preservation of the Army?s classified records. ARIMS is an integrated system that supports the SecArmy objective to integrate management systems for the Army?s records management programs and business operations. This line item funds for system, network, and application management for the ARIMS and ARIMS-C infrastructure. Technology changes, integration, and systems migration require contractor support to ensure Army Electronic Archives continues to preserve essential electronic records. These activities support the ARIMS applications and comply with the SecArmy and senior Army leadership to integrate and standardize management systems for business operations. Failure to fund will result in the loss of expertise and in extensive down time in the event of any hardware or software failure in the ARIMS infrastructure. ARIMS downtime precludes the collection and preservation of the Army long-term important records (such as CONOPS records). As a web-based GOTS system, ARIMS is dependent on private industry expertise to conduct troubleshooting and correction of any application or operating system component that is the foundation of the ARIMS and ARIMS-C systems. These skill sets are not maintained by government staff and must, by DoD directive (C3I), be acquired from the private sector. This effort transitions to 0605013A project FM7 in FY20.
