SRA Recognized for Successful PeopleSoft Implementation Supporting 50,000
FAIRFAX, Va., June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRA International, Inc.
(NYSE: SRX), a leading provider of technology and strategic consulting
services and solutions to government organizations, has received a U.S. Coast
Guard Meritorious Team Commendation for its PeopleSoft deployment supporting
50,000 Coast Guard military retirees and annuitants. The new system went live
April 1, with the first pension and annuity payments issued this month. The
team was made up of Coast Guard civilians and military members, with SRA as
the prime systems integrator.
"Faced with implementing major changes to existing business processes as
well as having to manage the extremely difficult technical integration
challenges of the integration, the team worked diligently to implement the
intricate business process reengineering plan which would address customer and
software developer concerns," commended Rear Adm. Clifford Pearson, U.S. Coast
Guard. "The dedication, pride and professionalism displayed by the USCG global
payroll development and implementation team reflect great credit upon each
team member, and the U.S. Coast Guard."
The replacement system brings state-of-the-art security, data integrity,
workflow, and internal controls to the Coast Guard, and leverages PeopleSoft's
Pure Internet Architecture (PIA). Calculations in the old system were prone to
error as they were performed manually, and during testing SRA and the Coast
Guard uncovered and remedied thousands of data errors in the legacy system. In
the new global payroll system, these calculations are automatic and have been
extensively tested for accuracy. Adding to the complexity, laws governing the
administration of military retired pay change annually, and are usually driven
by several key dates and events associated with the member's career history,
and the SRA implementation team ensures that all current rules were
implemented correctly, and laid the groundwork for future additions and
modifications to these rules.
"The Coast Guard is a strategic customer of SRA's, and we are very
committed to their mission," said SRA Civil Sector Senior Vice President Max
Hall. "Integrating critical business systems like these, with a significant
impact in daily business processes, is a great accomplishment for the entire
Coast Guard team."
