This document provides an update on the Navy's Personnel/Pay Modernization efforts. It discusses the history of failed modernization attempts and the current strategy to improve personnel and pay systems through a staged approach using the NSIPS platform. Stage 1 focuses on reducing complexity and increasing audit readiness. Stage 2 improves quality of personnel services. Stage 3 enhances decision making. Key initiatives include transitioning labor-intensive functions to NSIPS, reengineering processes, and establishing an authoritative data environment. Training and addressing financial/audit issues are also priorities. The timeline outlines FY13-14 projects and business process evaluations and requirements. Input is sought on targeting the right areas for most significant improvement.
