Defense ADP: Corporate Information Management Savings Are Not Supported : General Accounting Office (GAO) , February , 1991
From the report: "As a result of the President’s request for management improvements in his February 1989 address to Congress, the Department completed a Defense Management Report in July 1989, which set substantial dollar savings targets for several management improvement initiatives. One of these initiatives, called CIM, was established by the Deputy Secretary of Defense in October 1989. Its objectives are to (1) ensure the standardization, quality, and consistency of data from the Department’s multiple management information systems; (2) identify and implement management efficiencies throughout the information system life cycle; and (3) eliminate duplicate development and maintenance of multiple information systems designed for the same functional requirement."
