Implications of NMCI and DADMS

• Navy/Marine Corps Intranet
• Certification process required on new releases
• Not all software supported by Windows 2000
• DON Applications and Database Management System
• Standardization and consolidation of applications
• Designation of authoritative databases
• Limitations on frequency of new releases
