What’s IRMA? IRMA = Integration of
Resource Management Applications.
Goal is to integrate natural resource data applications Eliminate redundant data storage; streamline functions
Create a central web portal, single sign-on system, common user interface
Transition to service-oriented architecture (SOA), starting with NPSpecies, NatureBib, and the NPS Data Store.
