The data users are the functional organizations that will requireaccess to the program data. These organizational areas can include management, developmental,and implementation activities. In addition to their functional responsibilities, these organizationsare defined by their location and the specific disciplines involved. The data user informationprovides offerors with an understanding of the separation of work functions and the scope ofgeographic locations for data transmission requirements or other modes of data delivery oraccess.C.5.4 Identify data use/processing. The data use requirements are the ways in which theuser can process the chosen data types. They are valuable in minimizing infrastructureinvestment while providing needed capability. For example, a user with a view-only requirementmay be able to satisfy a need to view two-dimensional data using a typical desktop computersuite. A user with an update/maintain requirement may require an enhanced computer systemand software to edit files. The acquisition manager will need to match the digital datadeliverables to the existing or planned suite of equipment that makes up the users' infrastructure.The acquisition manager will need to identify the use of the data types by the supportorganizations chosen for the program. To complete this step in the GCO process, the acquisitionmanager needs to identify the deliverables required by the organizations using the data. Anadded benefit of this task is that as each organization determines its use of the data, deliverablesare often identified that are no longer needed and can therefore be dropped from the CDRL,resulting in a cost savings for the program. The five defined methods of data processing typicalof most training systems are described below:a. View only - the ability to examine a data file without the ability to change it. This mayinclude viewing selected portions of one or several documents as well as side-by-sidecomparisons of documents.74
