The authors provide a method for implementing IRM (Information Resource Management) in Naval shore activities. The research stemmed from the authors' perception that hardware procurement was overshadowing the determination of actual information system requirements. The framework presented approaches an IRM implementation from the perspective of the activity's commanding officer. The emphasis is on the information needs of the commanding officer and the criticality of identifying the information requirements prior to automating an information system for the activity. The evolution of IRM is discussed and precedes a presentation of an IRM infrastructure for the shore activity. The authors include a case for an IRM professional within the Navy. The thesis concludes with a detailed checklist to aid the commanding officer in the thought processes required to initiate the implementation of IRM for a Naval shore activity. Originator supplied keywords include: Information engineering and implementation strategy.
