In FY91, its first year of operation, the program has developed capabilities for more effective management presentations and improved connectivity to external systems. The OASD P and L staff is now able to produce engaging presentations in a variety of media and to connect to many external systems from the desktop. For OASD P and L to derive the full benefits of the program, the ACE program manager should establish guidelines for future operations.
