Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army (IPP

IPPS-A Increment II (IPPS-A Inc II) aims to provide 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 1.100 million Soldiers. This program is crucial for the Department of the Army's reform efforts to achieve greater performance and affordability in support of the National Defense Strategy and the Congressional audit mandate. The specific objectives include deploying new and updated training products, providing training teams delivering both virtual and on-site support across the Army to assist in user training and adoption for enhanced and new capabilities, transitioning from a waterfall development approach to an agile development approach for future delivery of capabilities, and supporting training product development, implementation, and training environment support for Human Resource capabilities with 1.100 million users.

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, replacing the Standard Installation/Division Personnel System and consolidating 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, fully subsuming 12 legacy systems and 11 partial capabilities into a single authoritative system. The next major software capabilities are Military Payroll (previously referred to as Release 4) and providing software enhancements to the existing solution. The FY 2024 funding supports training product development, implementation, and training environment support for Human Resource capabilities with 1.100 million users.

In summary, the IPPS-A program's specific goals are to enhance efficiency and accuracy of personnel and pay procedures, provide integrated HR systems for all Army components, transition to agile development for future capabilities delivery, deploy new training products, provide user training support across the Army, support training product development for Human Resource capabilities with 1.100 million users, and continue software enhancements to the existing solution.
