After postponing a systems changeover period in mid-August, Army human resources officials internally announced Thursday afternoon that the service\u2019s new HR platform won\u2019t launch on Sept. 20, as previously promised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re experiencing deja vu, that\u2019s because this has happened before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army \u2014 otherwise known as IPPS-A \u2014 was originally scheduled to go live across the entire Army in December 2021, before failed systems tests led senior leaders to order a nine-month delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the extra time wasn\u2019t enough, despite the Army declaring in May<\/a> that they were on track, and officials acknowledged that there\u2019s not a new release timeline in place following the latest delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Army Times reported Aug. 15<\/a> that another delay could occur after the service scuttled a scheduled shutdown of several older HR systems, with the IPPS-A functional management director acknowledging in a phone interview that a fully functional release wouldn\u2019t be possible for Sept. 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Army spokesperson reached via email Thursday confirmed the delay, but did not provide an additional statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
