290812 - Jim has not received a response to his letter requesting clarification
290813 - of AIS in relation to a District Engineer using Communication Metrics,
290814 - ref DRT 1 0484
290815 -
290816 - I called Jim last week, ref SDS 11 6025, for feedback on the inquiry
290817 - about AIS that Jim made, per my letter on 990513. ref DIP 1 2632,
290818 - following up discussion on 990506, ref SDS 5 4284, to address DE's
290819 - comment on 990504. ref SDS 1 7956
290820 -
290821 -  ..
290822 - As a result of not getting a response to his email, Jim called Ed
290823 - Huempfner,  acting chief of Directorate of Information Management at
290824 - HQ. ref DRT 1 2989  Ed was at the Ft. Leonard Wood Conference, which
290825 - evidently was the occassion cited by DE when the Chief Engineer spoke
290826 - about AIS... per meeting with DE on 990504. ref SDS 1 7956
290827 -
290828 -  ..
290829 - Jim advises in his letter today that Ed Huempfner stated...
290830 -
290831 -     ...the Chief reminded commanders to pay attention to IM costs, and
290832 -     that he wants them to enter any system they acquire and spend
290833 -     money on into the Corps version of ITIPS which is the information
290834 -     systems tracking system for USACE and the Army.  There is no
290835 -     moratorium on systems purchases, but system expenses need to be
290836 -     entered into the IPIPS tracking system so that they have
290837 -     visibility.
290838 -
290839 -     The SF District Commander's IM staff can provide more info.
290840 -     ref DRT 1 2989
290841 -
290842 -  ..
290843 - This response seems a bit off point, indicating HQ criteria for AIS
290844 - relate to cost; whereas, DE seemed concerned about information
290845 - compatibility, rather than costs per se.
290846 -
290847 -  ..
290848 - Since, however, this point was submitted to Jim, and discussed at
290849 - length on 990506, ref SDS 5 2795, it seems fair to conclude that Ed's
290850 - response reflects IM Directorate's guidance on substantative results
290851 - from the Leonard Wood Conference on HQ AIS criteria.
290852 -
290853 -  ..
290854 - Lacking published instructions, this seems to indicate DE can use
290855 - Communication Metrics on the merits, without seeking express approval
290856 - from HQ in advance of obtaining support.  Additionally, Jim observed
290857 - on 990506 that Communication Metrics provides work product that is
290858 - accessible on web browsers, which is a universal standard that meets
290859 - the objective of the Chief Engineer, ref SDS 5 1591, as related by the
290860 - DE on 990504. ref SDS 1 7956
290861 -
290862 -  ..
290863 - The Chief Engineer, and all other USACE personnel, have a common,
290864 - reliable method of using work product from Communication Metrics.
