Description

Mission Accessions Information Environment (AIE)

The Accessions Information Environment (AIE) is transforming the Army's recruiting and accessions process by introducing a fully integrated enterprise system that incorporates modern business practices and enhanced recruiting abilities. This modernization enables recruiters to spend more time in the field engaging potential recruits, less time managing paperwork or pulling data from legacy systems and, allows recruiters to operate efficiently and effectively with mobile devices. Built on Salesforce Public Sector Solutions and hosted in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud, AIE provides a configurable, scalable solution for Army-wide talent acquisition. AIE streamlines the accessioning process for enlisted soldiers, commissioned officers, in-service personnel, and direct commissions. It provides eight core capabilities, including lead management, prospecting, interviewing, processing, pay and incentives, intelligence, marketing, and training. The program serves as the Army's official accessions system, enhancing coordination among various HR agencies to improve efficiency and the overall soldier experience. To enhance software development and deployment, AIE transitioned from traditional development methods to an Agile framework, incorporating human-centered design and security-focused processes. Partnering with early adopters from the National Guard, AIE released prototype software to gather user feedback. In early FY25, it deployed an initial version that introduced Lead management and Prospecting capabilities, setting the foundation for continued development to support the Army's enlisted mission. FY 2026 Base dollars in the amount of $32.710 million support continued developmental configuration of AIE's solutions to meet the Enlisted Recruiting Mission, with an estimated deployment in 2QFY26. This includes ongoing incremental planning sessions, Agile development team operations, technical program management, interface development, cybersecurity, systems engineering test and continuous analysis of alternative approaches to meet evolving solution requirements. Following the deployment of the Enlisted Recruiting Mission, AIE will continue to address enhancements and backlog development. These activities set the conditions for the development of follow-on mission sets: In-Service and Direct Commission.

Justification

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (5)

Cybersecurity (RMF, FedRAMP, ATO)

Funding required to ensure AIE meets Army cybersecurity requirements.

COTS Based Agile Development and Configuration

Funds the development and configuration of the AIE system. Includes funding for system solution engineering services, continuous sprint planning sessions, agile development teams and all other direct work required to build AIE capabilities.

Testing, Operational, and Development Support

Funds support agreements with Army test support partners, i.e., Army Testing and Evaluation Command and Joint Interoperability Test Command, and industry development/configuration sub-contracts.

OEM Technical Support Services

Funds Salesforce OEM technical services to support all AIE core capability development efforts for Enlisted Recruiting Mission, In-Services, Direct Commissioning and ROTC.

Accessions Information Environment (AIE)

AIE modernizes the Army's accession and recruiting requirements as a fully integrated enterprise system with new business practices and updated recruiting capabilities. AIE enables the Army to leverage minimally customized Commercial-Off-The-Shelf CRM solution hosted in a commercial Salesforce and Amazon Web Service (AWS) Cloud Impact Level 4 (IL4) environment for talent acquisition Army-wide. AIE supports Army's accessioning process through its four missions: (1) Enlisted Soldiers, (2) Commission Officers through the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program, (3) In-Service requirements, and (4) Direct Commission. AIE will deliver eight core capabilities: lead management, prospecting, interviewing, processing, pay & incentives, intelligence, marketing, and training/leader development. The AIE serves as the Army's accessions system of record to interface and synchronize with multiple Army HR agencies and systems to improve the Soldier's experience, which ultimately gains effectiveness and efficiency for the Army's recruiting force. In February 2024, the program transitioned to an agile development strategy leveraging Salesforce core capabilities and focused on business process reengineering. Additionally, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) professional services were procured to complement the new solution provider's system review and development. The program briefed the updated strategy and schedule during the President Budget FY2025 Army Program Budget Brief on 1 May 2024. Since then, the program deployed the MVCR in October 2024, defined within DoDI 5000.87 as initial capabilities to enhance mission outcomes, delivering initial capabilities of Lead Management and Prospecting to early adopters. The program continues to deliver iterative functionalities to support the Enlisted Mission recruiting mission.
