For whatever it worth, I would feel more
comfortable if your new OIT publication were stamped
at least Administrative - Internal Use Only. I know
that the technical information it contains is readily
available from open sources but the publication also
provides the reader with a pretty clear idea of what
direction this Agency is taking in terms of ADP.
I must say that the publication is a neat
piece of work which I have found most informative.

Thought you might be interested in seeing some OIR comments on the first
issue of OIT Directions.
1. "A well written document that flaws from topic to topic
in a very logical manner. Only in a couple of areas
did it assume a little more knowledge than most users
have."
2. "I liked the question and answer approach."
3. "I think OIT should be complemented on this effort. It
provides the reader with a lot of information that is
relevant, and it makes it appear that OIT has actually
thought things out, something many people accuse them
of not doing."
4. "I think the new publication is an excellent idea. It
attempts to take the mystery out of what is going on
and conveys the thought that there really is some
organized direction/planning concerning some of the
many developments the Agency is experiencing in the ADP
world. The topics selected for the first issue were
very good choices. The publication did a good job of
explaining these topics in a relatively non-technical
fashion so that it should be readily understood. Well
done."
I think the first issue is a major step forward in getting people informed
about major developments. My guess is that OIR people would even like to see
Directions published more frequently than quarterly.

SUBJECT: OIT Directions
Bill:
I am pleased to share with you this first issue
of OIT Directions.
OIT Directions is a new quarterly publication
intended to keep our customers informed about
significant new developments in the office, major
projects, and our strategic directions and plans.
This first issue outlines the process whereby
OIT is setting new directions for information
processing within the Agency, and discusses, in some
depth, our plans for transitioning from the existing
network of Delta Data and other non-standard
terminals toward a more standard environment of 3270
protocol devices, including personal computers.
Future issues have already been planned to
discuss the OIT Information Systems Architecture
program, our Data Base Strategic Plan, and the
Corporate Data Program.
I hope you will find this information useful,
and welcome comments and suggestions for topics for
future issues.
