ARLINGTON, Va., 23 Jan. 2008. Torres Advanced Enterprise Solutions (Torres), under a contract with the Multi National Security Transition Command-Iraq, is completing the largest ever Oracle-based human resources and payroll management system (HRIMS).
The HRIMS will be the primary information system used to manage the entire Iraqi military (all 200,000 armed services personnel) and provide reports to U.S. Congress on Iraqi troop strength and Iraqi combat readiness.
With this data, coalition forces can better plan military operations and the withdrawal of coalition troops. Further, the HRIMS supplies the Iraqi Ministry of Defense (MOD) and coalition forces with data on corruption, including information on Iraqi ghost soldiers. This system is scheduled for completion on February 6, 2008, after 1.5 years in development.
This system delivery is the largest and most complex of all Oracle HRIMS projects worldwide, including the former largest project implemented by the U.S. Air Force in 2002.
"This implementation marks an important step in the stabilization of the Iraqi government. Torres demonstrated absolute commitment to the scheduled deployment of this project, even during challenging circumstances that included rocket and mortar attacks inside the International Zone and bullets fired through their office and training facility walls," says Michael R. Williams, Lieutenant Colonel, USAF.
