1 Overview
1.1 Purpose
The USDA Service Center concept is a cornerstone of the department’s reorganization effort
undertaken subsequent to the Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994. By
consolidating its individual agency field offices into service centers, the USDA intends to see a
greater return on investment, and at the same time provide taxpayers with more efficient service
at reduced cost.
One of the key components of this concept is the implementation of the Information Technology
Services (ITS) organization. The ITS vision is to be recognized as a professional team of
customer-driven service providers who respond to the needs of its customers by providing
outstanding service and cost-efficient, highly effective technical solutions.
1.2 Introduction
This User Reference Guide is intended to assist end users to fully implement the capabilities of
the HP/Compaq TC4400 Tablet PC Computer.
