  HUMAN RESOURCES COMMAND IDENTITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
  A-24. The Human Resources Command Identity Management System is a web-based application used by
  unit administrators to request access to the HRC controlled databases and automated systems. This system
  does not support requests for eMILPO access. Key points to remember include–
  * Each brigade-level S-1 organization must establish a Human Resources Command Identity
  Management System account to access TOPMIS II and eTOPMIS, Enlisted Distribution and
  Assignment System, and the Common Operational Picture Synchronizer.
  * Brigade S-1s may further delegate sponsor privileges to any individual assigned to their
  distribution management sub-level.
  INTERACTIVE PERSONNEL ELECTRONIC RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
  A-25. The Interactive Personnel Electronic Records Management System is the repository of Army military
  HR record legal artifacts for all components. The Army military HR record contains copies of all permanent
  documents placed into the Soldier’s Army military HR record IAW AR 600-8-104. For family members,
  accuracy of information is critical for NOK notification. Key points to remember include–
  * Documentation must be placed into the Soldier’s Army military HR record IAW AR 600-8-104.
  For family members, accuracy of information is critical for next of kin notification.
  * Documents required for filing in the system and outdated documents, or documents that are no
  longer authorized to be filed in the Army military HR record, can be found on the Interactive
  Personnel Electronic Records Management System website.
  * Annual finance and personnel record reviews are required for every Soldier using the Record
  Review Tool in the system, regardless of component.
  * One system for all components.
  INTEGRATED PERSONNEL AND PAY SYSTEM-ARMY
  A-26. The IPPS-A is an on-line HR system that provides integrated personnel, pay (future), and talent
  management (future) capabilities in a single system. The system uses a commercial off-the-shelf system that
  runs utilizing Oracles’ PeopleSoft-based software. It provides end-to-end tracking of pay and personnel data
  and gives individual Soldiers access to their Soldier record brief. The system will automate the pay process
  while linking HR transactions such as dependent changes and promotions. The IPPS-A program provides
  integrated access by granting visibility and transaction functionality to commanders, Soldiers, and Army HR
  professionals and will greatly reduce the use of paper forms for data entry by allowing direct or automated
  input into the system. Embedded security and CAC restrictions ensure safeguarding of critical information.
  This system gives commanders visibility and transaction role authority over their personnel and improves
  readiness by synchronizing personnel movement and deployment status.
  A-27. The increased visibility across installations and geographic boundaries based on command relationship
  with the Army Organizational Server will optimize the HR division of labor to be more consistent with the
  fundamental characteristics of Army HR transformation. The system will deliver enhanced analytics
  capabilities to support PRM, PASR, PIM, talent management and EPS to support LSCO and war gaming
  concepts. The IPPS-A will also deliver Customer Relationship Management, a framework that allows a
  member to submit a self-service ticket that is tracked through to completion, greatly improving transparency
  and accountability for HR support to members. Sustainment Automation Support Management Offices
  provide tactical support to IPPS-A.
