MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
FROM: Edward J. Maloney
Director of Information Technology
SUBJECT: DDA Users Group
1. We have reviewed) (recommendation that a DDA Users Group
be formed to help Ron articulate computing issues and requirements to
the OIT Customer/Standards Committee.
2. Both the S&T and the DI have formed such groups, composed of
representatives of Directorate offices. OIT has worked with these
groups as we have formulated our proposed OIT standards, and we have
found them to be effective mechanisms for facilitating the quality of
our communications with our customers. These groups also provide us a
valuable opportunity to improve our understanding of our customers'
requirements. We strongly support Ron's suggestion.
3. In addition to the benefits of improved customer communications,
though, the groups that have been established have provided important
opportunities for computer users to share concerns that are particular
to their own Directorates, and help one another. As Ron's memo points
out, the S&T group has been particularly effective in this area.
4. We look forward to working with Ron and the DDA User Group as he may
request.
