Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army (IPPS-A)
Abstract
The Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army (IPPS-A) Increment II provides an integrated, multi-Component, personnel and pay system, which streamlines the existing Human Resources (HR) systems and processes enhancing efficiency and accuracy of personnel and pay procedures in support of 1.1 million Soldiers and their Families. IPPS-A will subsume approximately 40 legacy systems (full and partial) across the Active, Reserve and National Guard Components into one single integrated system. IPPS-A is a web-based tool, available 24-hours a day, accessible to HR professionals, Combatant Commanders, pay managers and other authorized users throughout the Army. IPPS-A addresses major deficiencies in the delivery of military personnel and pay services by providing the necessary internal control and audit procedures as well as preventing erroneous payments and loss of funds. This program is an essential building block to reform the Department towards achieving greater performance and affordability in support of the National Defense Strategy and the Congressional audit mandate. IPPS-A Increment II is the #1 HR Modernization effort in the Army and will deliver fully integrated personnel and pay services for all Army Components building on the trusted database delivered by the IPPS-A Increment I program. The program is the critical enabler for The Army People Strategy and its transition to a Talent Management System and an HR data-rich environment. Increment II will link the personnel and pay functions for all Army personnel eliminating duplicate data entry, reducing complex system maintenance, and minimizing pay discrepancies. IPPS-A Increment II will account for status changes between Active and Reserve/National Guard Components to ensure accurate credit for service and individual pay as well as enable disciplined human resource management. FY 2021 requested budget supports the revised Acquisition Strategy approved by the Army Acquisition Executive (AAE) on 24 July 2019, and provides for the development of Release 3 Personnel System supporting the Total Force. The revised Acquisition Strategy removes the schedule concurrency, thereby reducing complexity and shifting risks to the vendor by changing the Release 3 System Integrator development contract structure from cost plus to firm fixed. The new "heel-to-toe" release development strategy is, in part, a result of rescinded statutory acquisition mandate, 10 United States Code Chapter 144A, Major Automated Information System (MAIS) Programs, which originally required completion of a program from initiation to the Full Deployment Decision within five years. This restriction forced substantial schedule compression and necessitated the high risk scheduling of concurrent releases to meet requirements within the prescribed timeframe. The revised schedule allows for a focused and systematic development, integration and delivery of the new HR and Pay system for the Total Force. Further, the revised program has facilitated the execution of Business Process Reengineering on a significant scale - allowing the Army to reduce from 154 HR Business Processes to 52.

- Change Summary Explanation
- FY 2021 RDTE increase of $49.241 million supports the revision of Increment II schedule providing for development of Release 3 (Personnel System for Reserves and Active Duty Components). On 24 July 2019, the Army Acquisition Executive (AAE) signed the revised Increment II Acquisition Strategy. On 7 January 2020, the AAE approved the re-baseline Authority to Proceed (ATP) with revised cost, schedule and performance values. With AAE re-baseline decision, the department has revised the program's Increment II development schedule by reducing concurrency of its multiple releases and extending the Release 3 development and partial testing for the remainder of FY 2021. Revised FY 2021 RDTE is required to support Release 3 development and testing activities leading up to full operational testing in 1Q FY 2022.
