The United States Marine Corps Data Collaboration Requirements (Paperback)

The goal of this research was to identify those strategies used in the private sector that may help the Marine Corps to better share information across its many different databases. This research is exploratory; it focuses on only one initiative: the IT-21 initiative. The IT-21 initiative dictates The Technology for the United States Navy and Marine Corps, 2000-2035: Becoming a 21st Century Force. The IT-21 initiative states that Navy and Marine Corps information infrastructure will be based largely on commercial systems and services, and the Department of the Navy must ensure that these systems are seamlessly integrated and that information transported over the infrastructure is protected and secure. The Delphi Technique was used to identify strategies, and to assess their value for helping organizations to share information better.
