These figures are estimates based on the STARS system using
by Office of Security and they may not be the true values.
NOTES:
1. Can replace the control computer with smaller hard
disk because all text files will be stored in 3380
disks under MVS. The cost for the control computer
.will be less.
2. Can reduce to two diskless workstations instead of
three because all requesters can do their work thru
VM without ISD assistance. It would save about
$16,000.

1. The users log on the VM system and query for any
document. They forward the document identifier
numbers to the ISD staff thru AIM, phone calls, etc.
for the hard-copy documents.
2. The ISD staff make hard-copy documents from the
optical disk thru laser printer and mail them to the
requesters.
Advantages:
1. The ISD staff will be less relying by the customers
to find the documents.
2. The system
- improves the speed up process for recording
documents.
- query accurately thru full-text search. or index
search.
- improve the quality and speed up the
dissemination process.
Disadvantages:
1. All three systems (VM, MVS, Standalone) are required
to execute together to maximize the ORIS process. If
one of them is down for some reasons, the ORIS
process may be limited or may not function at all.
2. Users will be required to take training.
All hardwares except palantir are NOT tempested.
(May require sheild walls or place system in the New
Building)
It. Require at least one technical and one backup
operators who understand the system entirely. They
are the ones who operate the system.
5. Software maintenance or/and hardware replacement for
the VM/MVS system is UNPREDICTABLE. It may impact on
the ORIS system when VM or MVS architecture is
modified. (For example: 3380 drive may be changed to
different drive and requires program changes, etc.)

package for VM/MVS environment.

1. The users forward the requests to the ISD staff thru
AIM, phone calls, etc. for the documents.
2. The ISD staff scan for any documents by either
full-text search or index search (searching for key
words or fields).
NOTE: For speedy and accurate retrieval, a document
image index is critical.
3. The ISD staff make hard-copy documents from the
optical disk thru laser printer and mail them to the
requesters.
Advantages:
1. This system operates independently.
2. ISD controls the system independently.
3. The system
- improves the speed up process for recording
documents.
- query accurately thru full-text search or index
search.
- improve the quality and speed up the
dissemination process.
4. All hardware/software are located in ISD office.
(Better accessability and maintenance)
Disadvantages:
1. Requesters have to send requests to ISD staff for
documents.
NOTE: The requesters may use one of ISD
workstations to scan for
any document if they are willing to stop by the
ISD office.
2. ISD staff have to do the scan/query documents.
