Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army (IPPS-A)

Abstract

The Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army Increment II (IPPS-A Inc II) provides an integrated, multi-Component, personnel and pay system that streamlines existing Human Resources (HR) systems and processes by enhancing efficiency and accuracy of personnel and pay procedures in support of 1.1 million Soldiers and their families. The Army will deploy IPPS-A Inc II to all Components in three software releases. In March 2020, the Army completed deployment of Release 2 to all Army National Guard (ARNG) units in the 54 states and territories. Release 2 replaced the ARNG's Standard Installation/Division Personnel System and consolidated many disparate state/territory systems into one. Release 3 will provide accountability and essential personnel services to all three Army Components when deployed in December 2021. Release 4 will provide a fully-integrated personnel and pay system to all three Army Components and is planned for deployment to the Total Force no later than May 2025. IPPS-A Inc II will subsume approximately 52 legacy systems (full and partial) across the Active, ARNG, and Reserve Components into a single ,integrated system. IPPS-A Inc II 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 Inc II addresses major deficiencies in the execution 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 of the Army towards achieving greater performance and affordability in support of the National Defense Strategy and the Congressional audit mandate. IPPS-A Inc II is the number one 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 IPPS-A Inc I. The program is a critical enabler for The Army People Strategy and its transition to a Talent Management System and an HR data-rich environment. IPPS-A Inc 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 Inc II will account for status changes between Active, National Guard, and Reserve Components to ensure accurate credit for service and individual pay and will enable disciplined human resource management. The Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22) requested budget supports the program's Acquisition Strategy approved by the Army Acquisition Executive (AAE) on 24 July 2019, and provides funding to complete the Release 3 Limited User Test to all three Army Components at the end of 1QFY22. The FY22 budget request also funds the first year of activities following the completion of the Release 3 deployment. These follow-on activities include the requirements analysis of Release 4 (integrated pay), and the design of the first of four Additional Capabilities approved by Army Senior Leaders for development and deployment between FY22 and FY25.
