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. 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. The IPPS-A program has deployed two major software releases: Release 2 completed a phased deployment of Military Human Resource capabilities to all Army National Guard (ARNG) units in the 54 states and territories in March 2020. Release 2 replaced the Standard Installation/Division Personnel System and consolidated many disparate state/territory systems into one single solution. Release 3 completed a phased deployment of Military Human Resource and talent management capabilities across all Army components (Active, Guard and Reserve) in January 2023. Release 3 fully subsumed 12 legacy systems and 11 partial capabilities bringing the Army's Total Force into a single authoritative system. The program has transitioned from waterfall development to agile development for the delivery of capabilities. In accordance with the Acquisition Strategy approved by the Army Acquisition Executive on 21 June 2022, the next major software capabilities are Army Military Payroll, additional Human Resource (HR) Capabilities (eg. Archiving, Talent and Strength Management, and Audit), and HR Enhancements to the deployed baseline. Starting in 3QFY24, IPPS-A will start migration from the legacy infrastructure hosting solution with Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to a Cloud Hosting solution. FY 2025 Base dollars in the amount of $126.354 million supports agile design and development for the Army Military Payroll solution, agile design and development for additional HR Capabilities. These funds will continue the re-platforming (nonrecurring engineering) of PeopleSoft software to allow migration to the Cloud as the legacy DISA infrastructure approaches end of life. Funds support Identity, Credential, Access Management (ICAM) development, and implementation.
