Migration of the Army IPPS-A to Oracle U.S.
Defense Cloud expected to help reduce costs while enhancing
security and information access that will support readiness and
auditability
AUSTIN,
Texas, Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S.
Army is migrating its IPPS-A to Oracle U.S. Defense Cloud. Serving
more than one million users, the project represents Oracle's
largest competitively awarded Joint Warfighting Cloud
Capability (JWCC) task order to date and the largest
implementation of Oracle's PeopleSoft globally. By migrating to the
cloud with the support of Accenture Federal Services and
Red River, the Army anticipates
significant cost savings compared with maintaining and upgrading
its existing infrastructure.
A revolutionary leap forward in Army Human Resources (HR) and
Information Technology (IT), IPPS-A was created to modernize Army
HR and talent management, reduce IT and military pay costs, and
improve Soldiers' lives through transparency and mobile
capabilities. IPPS-A will deliver visibility over the entire force
and maximize the potential of the Army's greatest asset, the
Soldier, to enhance readiness and improve the access, timeliness,
and auditability of personnel and pay information across the
organization.
"The Army sought an industry-leading cloud infrastructure
provider to support its IPPS-A modernization with a proven track
record of securely managing sensitive data at scale," said
Kim Lynch, executive vice president,
Oracle Government, Defense & Intelligence. "By extending our
long partnership and selecting Oracle's dedicated, flexible, and
secure cloud infrastructure, the Army will be able to seamlessly
migrate its IPPS-A solution to the cloud, unlocking the power
of advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) across its
HR and payroll operations."
The transition to Oracle U.S. Defense Cloud will enable the Army
to capture the full benefits of the cloud while securely
maintaining sensitive information at scale. Using the flexible and
scalable Oracle Autonomous Database, the Army can seamlessly
migrate its existing Oracle on-premises environment to an
industry-leading data platform that can accommodate any data or
development model for any use case while eliminating or reducing
complex and time-consuming integrations.
The Army's migration to the cloud aligns with its broader
strategy to embrace cloud solutions that provide enhanced
performance, help lower costs, and provide new modern cloud
capabilities to its customer base. It will also allow the Army to
explore adopting additional Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
capabilities, such as advanced data analytics and AI-powered
chatbots, further optimizing its operations and enhancing user
experiences.
