PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 26, 2003--PeopleSoft Inc. (Nasdaq:PSFT - News) (Company
Profile, Past
Stories, Case
Studies) today announced that the United States Navy has deployed the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS), migrating its applications
from client server technology to PeopleSoft's Pure Internet Architecture(TM). Based on PeopleSoft's industry-leading Human Capital Management (HCM) solution, NSIPS
enables more than 453,000 Active Duty and Reserve Navy forces to update and maintain critical personnel information online through a standard web browser.
"A completely integrated, personnel system with state of the art self-service capabilities was our goal, and PeopleSoft made it possible," said Commander Susan
Eaton, NSIPS System and Software Engineering Manager. "Now, rather than filing manual paperwork at their Personnel Support Detachment offices, our service
members can update their addresses, phone numbers and emergency contact information from their home, ship or base via a standard Web browser. It represents a
tremendous technological leap in our manpower and personnel systems."
NSIPS consolidates multiple legacy systems, reducing the Navy's administrative and maintenance costs. The real-time system also improves service to sailors who can
now access their personnel information from 570 ship and shore sites at any time. This self-serve capability introduces a new level of accuracy to the system because Navy
members themselves can ensure that their personnel data is current and error free.
Last month, the Navy began incorporating the PeopleSoft HCM's ePerformance application into NSIPS. The application will transform the Navy's performance review system,
which has been largely a manual, paper-based process. As a result, instead of manually reviewing officer and employee evaluations that are sent through the mail, the Navy
will leverage an automated review process, which will help expedite the promotion cycle and greatly improve data accuracy.
NSIPS is the basis for the consolidation of more than 200 legacy systems. The Navy has used the legacy systems to produce more than 500,000 reports annually, 75,000
of which contain errors that require manual intervention. The new system will reduce errors and enable the Navy to quickly begin gathering data to populate the Defense
Department's new Defense Integrated Military Human Resources System (DIMHRS). DIMHRS will consolidate more than 80 legacy systems with PeopleSoft applications
and provide service to the 3.1 million active and reserve members of the United States military.
"There is a significant push in Federal and State Governments to consolidate IT systems in order to drive down costs and streamline processes, and the Department of
Defense has emerged as a leader in this effort," said Kevin Horigan, managing director, PeopleSoft Education and Government. "PeopleSoft's experience in the
Government sector has empowered the Navy to transform its processes and bring advanced self-service capabilities to all of its service members."
