MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
Director of Training and Education
SUBJECT: ADP Support to DA Offices
REFERENCE: Memo from D/OIT, dtd 2 Jan. '87, Same Subject
1. The Office of Training and Education strongly endorses
the concept proposed by the Director, Office of Information
Technology to assign OIT personnel to DA Offices. To say that
OTE has a critical need for such services is an understatement.
Automation of student registrations, airline scheduling, course
and classroom scheduling and resource management in general are
all areas of our support operation which are ten years behind
the state-of-the-art.. Additionally, we anticipate an almost
endless number of applications in the classroom as various
training simulations lend themselves to computer methodologies.
The new compensation and benefits system, with its many
occupational groups and the attendant training requirements,
makes it even more critical for us to have an automated system
or we will never keep up.
2. Having said that, I am concerned that the attachment to
the memo shows only one individual assigned to OTE. One person
cannot come close to meeting our requirements. Our estimated
needs are for a team of four or five staffers and one or two
contractors. The staffers would provide the continuity and
administration of resources devoted to our overall ADP planning
and implementation, while the contractors would give us the
versatility of looking at unique applications, e.g. classroom
simulations and computer based training (CBT) uses. Without
this level of effort, the proposal, at least for OTE, is a
non-starter. It would almost certainly guarantee a continuation
of the status quo, which is unacceptable.
3. Ed suggests in his memo that all ADP specialist
personnel be part of the MZ Career Service. I have no problem
with that from OTE's viewpoint. If we have any people who have

the qualifications to be competitive and who so desire, I would
encourage them to make the move. I assume the occupational
groups now being formed will help us with that type of decision.
4. In summary, Ed's proposal is a good one--an idea whose
time has come if he can deliver at the level needed to
STAT accomplish something.
