A vignette of increasing frequency is for a manager with a problem to arrive in the EDP manager's office and ask for information required to solve his problem. The information required almost always cuts across computer applications and files of several functional areas. In the majority of the installations, the EDP manager is forced to flatly turn down the manager's request. He either cannot respond because the needed data is hopelessly locked up in existing poorly documented computer files, or because responding would throw the normal computer processing into upheaval.
