SUBJECT: Strategic Plan for ADP and Communications
in the Year 2000
1. The purpose of this study is to discern the major trends and
influences that will shape the evolution of Agency ADP and communications
systems by the year 2000 and to undertake a strategic investment program that
will allow the Agency to operate successfully in the future environment. This
study is to begin with a long-range forecast and end with program proposals
for the budget.
2. The study has five phases. The first is a description of the
operating environment in the year 2000. This will encompass trends and
analyses in:
a) Personnel data requirements;
b) Logistics and Finance;
c) Services and benefits;
d) Overseas support;
e) Building and space requirements and locations;
f) Substantive data requirements.

3. Phase two will identify common needs for ADP and communications
support that are revealed in the above issue areas and review technologies
which would be relevant for their resolution. Feasible Directorate goals for
ADP and communications support will be proposed as part of the second phase.
4. Phase three will focus on the development of implementation options
including a cost/benefit analysis and a vulnerability analysis and will
explore issues of reliability, stability, flexibility, maintainability and
growth potential. Options must allow for alternative funding levels and
program durations.
5. The fourth phase is to propose investment initiatives for the budget
process. The final phase is to implement a specific strategy with a specific
resource profile.
6. As a first step, I wish each of you to describe the major trends and
influences shaping your operating environment in the year 2000 which bear on
topics 2a and 2b. Please focus on developments which will ultimately help us
to understand the size and structure of the data bases, the design of the
network, special requirements for security or access rights, and how the data
are to be used. Do not simply describe today's operation and assume no
change.
7. Your responses are due to Management Staff by 23 May where common
themes will be highlighted and questions compiled for our discussion on
1 June. Please send information copies of your contributions to the other
Office Directors.
