Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Federal Productivity Suffers

Because Word Processing Is

Not Well Managed




Word processing systems can increase Gov-
ernment office productivity--provided the
people, equipment, and procedures are man-
aged properly.

Most Federal departments and agencies, how-
ever, are not complying with regulations cov-
ering the management of these systems and,
furthermore, cannot demonstrate that they
have increased their productivity or that the
systems are cost effective. Latest figures show
that the Federal Government is acquiring,
through purchase or lease, about $80 million
in word processing equipment a year, and this
figure is expected to increase rapidly in the
future.


The Administrator of General Services should
provide guidance to agencies and conduct per-
iodic reviews of their systems. He should also
assess agencies' compliance with regulations
concerning the management of word process-
ing systems.
