A new human resources system will be deployed by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) by July 2007.
The Joint Personnel Administration system will be made available to over 100,000 army employees in a bid to unify and modernise the HR packages currently used by the MoD.
As a result, staff will be able to access HR functions such as posting details, expenses and pay statements via secure online access and self-service infrastructure, personneltoday.com reports.
A spokesperson for the MoD said: "Joint Personnel Administration is a modern world-class personnel administration system that has already been successfully deployed to the RAF and Royal Navy worldwide and is working well.
The MoD signed a deal with outsourcing provider EDS in 2004 for the HR system and it is expected to make the Armed Forces Personnel Administration Agency an annual saving of as much as £100 million.
"Delivery to the Army is on track and will improve the level of service, and create financial savings in the order of £100 million per annum," the spokesman added.
