The Integrated Personnel and Pay System - Army (IPPS-A) is the Army’s online Human Resources (HR) solution to provide integrated HR capabilities across all Army Components. IPPS-A is the critical enabler for The Army People Strategy and its transition to a Talent Management system and a data-rich environment. The IPPS-A Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software suite integrates over 1.1 million Soldiers into a multi-component (Active Army, Army National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve) personnel and pay system to deliver Total Force visibility to support Readiness, Talent Management and Auditability. The software that runs IPPS-A is the ORACLE PeopleSoft Suite, and IPPS-A will eventually completely integrate the military personnel and pay functions for Active Army, Army National Guard, U.S. Army Reserve, West Point Cadets, Reserve Officer Training Corps and Health Professional Scholarship Students in a single system.IPPS-A delivers visibility over the entire force and maximizes the potential of the Army’s greatest asset, the Soldier, to enhance Army Readiness. It improves access, timeliness and provides auditability of personnel and pay information for the Total Army – integrating more than 30 current systems; eliminating more than 300 interfaces; ensuring secure, consistent processes and data; and meeting required standards.

I advised the transformation of traditional administrative functions of geographically dispersed direct-report human resources (HR) teams. I also evaluated macro-organizational talent trends and proactively planned for future needs in leadership and other critical roles. I tracked personal and employment information, created job structures, managed personnel documents, and predicted performance gaps and attrition. I worked to align individual and business goals and supported personnel with frequent checkpoints to optimize organizational performance. I synchronized with executive leadership to determine workforce needs, identify competency gaps, and devise development and workforce plans.
