As the contracts management division chief for Integrated Personnel and Pay System – Army at PEO Enterprise, Allison Gregory is responsible for guiding acquisition strategies that support big-picture goals, making sure the right contracts are in place when they’re needed and ensuring software deliverables are high quality and mission ready.

At U.S. Army Program Executive Office Enterprise, which is now over two years into its Agile transformation, several enterprise software programs are already in the execution phase of the DOD’s Software Acquisition Pathway, which is designed to facilitate rapid and iterative delivery of software capability to users.

As U.S. Army Program Executive Office (PEO) Enterprise strives to enhance the speed and efficiency of its Agile software development practices, the acquisition organization’s Lean Agile Center of Excellence (LACE) is supporting the PEO’s portfolio of programs with a consistent set of metrics. 

With nearly a quarter of a century of service to the U.S. Army, the Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4) product office — part of Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS) — is considered an old-timer in the acquisition world. Around five years ago, following deep-dive discussions among Army senior leaders, the decision was made to retire the program.

PEO EIS held a Sept. 30 change of charter ceremony for its Integrated Personnel and Pay System – Army (IPPS-A) Project Management Office, marking the send-off of outgoing Project Manager Col. Rob Williams and the return of Col. Robert (RJ) Mikesh to the EIS team.

PEO EIS's Integrated Personnel and Pay System - Army (IPPS-A) hit another major milestone in the implementation of the Army’s revolutionary human resources (HR), pay and talent management system.

The “Warriors Corner”— traditionally an on-site, exhibit-based venue for presentations on important discussion topics at the Association for the U.S. Army’s (AUSA) annual conference — may have been virtual this year, but that didn’t stop PEO EIS representatives from discussing and demoing innovative technologies, and responding to numerous questions from online attendees.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Soldiers and Department of the Army civilians tuned into Microsoft Teams on Monday, Aug. 10, to hear Army leaders discuss PEO EIS's Integrated Personnel Pay System-Army (IPPS-A), a new, cutting-edge online human resources (HR) system that is modernizing the force.
