Book Description
GAO found that: (1) poor DOD data administration practices and a lack of data standards have increased costs and hindered DOD information management capabilities, information exchanges, and decisionmaking; (2) DOD has not been able to meet its corporate data administration goals or properly determine its corporate data needs because its senior functional managers have not documented their business requirements or established data requirements, and are not uniformly committed to CIM principles; (3) DOD has engaged in activities that do not promote its data administration goals and issued data standardization procedures without issuing guidance for developing, validating, integrating, and approving data standards; (4) the Defense Data Repository System (DDRS) cannot meet DOD needs and is incapable of providing required data storage capabilities; (5) DDRS has been loaded with unreliable and incompatible information about existing nonstandard data elements; and (6) DOD functional managers and Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence (ASD/C3I) need to effectively implement CIM so that DOD can meet its data administration goals.
