TODAY'S FOCUS


Defense Integrated Military Human Resources System

What is it? Defense Integrated Military Human Resources System (DIMHRS)
Personnel and Pay (Pers/Pay) is an internet based, single integrated
military personnel and pay management system for all DoD military Services
(Army and the Air Force) and components, designed to support peacetime and
wartime readiness requirements. The development and implementation of DIMHRS
is more than the deployment of an information technology solution. It is a
revolutionary change in how the military Services conduct their personnel
and pay business.

What has the Army done? The Army finalized DIMHRS development requirements
and passed them to Northrop Grumman Information Technology (NGIT) at the
Army Requirements Review (ARR) on 15 September 2006. The ARR defined the
expected functionality of the DIMHRS Initial Operating Capability (IOC) and
allowed NGIT to continue DIMHRS development. To ensure DIMHRS will provide
the robust personnel, pay processes and security needs of the Army, a
rigorous testing program has been developed. 

The Army Operational Test Command completed a significant milestone on 21
November 2006, by conducting the DIMHRS Operational Test Readiness Review
(OTRR) at Fort Hood. Human Resources Command (HRC) tasked the Army DIMHRS
Program Office to accomplish the mission of providing the functional
guidance, data migration, and operational (legacy) system interfaces,
retirement of subsumed systems, training, support infrastructure, and
fielding of the finished product. The Army G1, HRC, and the Program
Executive Office Enterprise Information System established a Memorandum of
Agreement for Systems Acquisition Support for the Army implementation of
DIMHRS. 

What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future? Assess the
best value for the Army and report the findings to the Defense Business
Systems Modernization Committee. Under the current roll strategy, the Army
is the first to implement DIMHRS (Per/Pay) followed by the Air Force. To
better support fielding of DIMHRS in April 2008, Human Resources
Transformation will assist in the transition to DIMHRS. The Army will design
and implement new Business Process Training in accordance with doctrine and
established standards while working with NGIT on DIMHRS Application
Training. Training is scheduled to take place November 2007 through February
2008. Future Army testing activities will include System Integration Test,
System Acceptance Test and Initial Operational Test.
