Some troops <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/pay-benefits\/mil-money\/2021\/07\/23\/tuition-assistance-back-online-but-many-soldiers-still-need-reimbursements\/\">continue to report issues<\/a> with the new platform, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has also delayed the launch of a new version of its human resources and pay platform, IPPS-A, until at least September 2022. Senior leaders said the delay was because IPPS-A simply wasn\u2019t ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFrankly, in part because of [the failed Army Ignited launch], as well as the lessons learned from that experience, when we looked at where IPPS-A was, we made the decision that it was better to delay the rollout of that so that we can make absolutely sure that the system was going to work when it actually does go live,\u201d Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said in an October press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IPPS-A must pass another round of tests led by CACI, the lead contractor on the half-billion-dollar project, ahead of its rescheduled rollout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service\u2019s top IT officials say they\u2019re committed to ensuring that the first major IT hurdle of 2022 \u2014 the ongoing transition from Defense Enterprise Email services to new Army 365 email \u2014 will go more smoothly. One concern that many across the Army have is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2021\/12\/02\/army-has-no-plan-march-email-shutdown-looms-for-250000-personnel\/\">whether there will be an interruption in official email services<\/a> for the 250,000 personnel who won\u2019t receive an Army 365-based email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBetween now and March, when [DEE] is slated for decommissioning, we will have a solution to transition everybody and their current email capabilities to either Army 365 or an alternate [email] solution,\u201d Dr. Raj Iyer, the Army\u2019s chief information officer, told reporters in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s still not clear what that extra email solution will be, though, and Iyer said \u201cwe\u2019re unable to to share any additional information, because that at this point is all contract- and acquisition-sensitive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless, the CIO said the Army is \u201cwell on our way to implementing the alternate solution and hav[ing] it ready in time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lt. Gen. John Morrison Jr., an Army deputy chief of staff for cyber, also revealed that the service may be able to put the brakes on the old email system\u2019s March 31 sunset if \u201cconditions,\u201d such as delays in an alternate email solution, aren\u2019t met in time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army aims to have smoother IT rollouts in
