Navy Stock Point Local Unique Computer Programs: An Analysis for Transition and Management Under the Stock Point ADP Replacement (SPAR) Project.
Abstract:
Points are planned to be, in the near future, replaced with new systems being procured by the Stock Point ADP Replacement Project SPAR. An important issue of the replacement will be the conversion of existing computer software to allow transition from the current hardware environment to the replacement hardware. Centrally developed and managed Uniform Automated Data Processing System for Stock Points UADPS-SP software will be the main thrust of the conversion effort. Equally important will be conversion of thousands of field activity developed application software programs referred to as local uniques. This thesis documents the scope of the local unique program situation by documenting numbers and characteristics of those local programs. Keywords UADPS-SP, SPAR, Local Unique Software Management Software Conversion.
