October, 2006 - NRPC Data Management Policy
• “…NRPC will create a central web portal, a single sign-on system, and develop a common user interface for all natural resource applications…”
• “ NRPC will integrate all applications, eliminate redundant data storage, and streamline standard functions...”
• “ NRPC systems will transition to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). This transition will strategically position NRPC to better deal with future changes in technology…”
