Correction: U.S. Air Force Will Transfer One Application Over To DISA

*Human Resources Journal would like to post a correction and apologize for the mistake.

The United States Air Force Personnel Center will transfer just one application over to the Defense Information Systems Agency. Not “nearly all of their resources IT duties to DISA”.

‘Someone else develops the hardware and software and hosts the system. We are just a customer using the service,” said Robert Berger, the deputy director of Personnel Data Systems at Air Force Personnel Center.

Berger also noted that DISA provided greater redundancy than did the Air Force’s prior disaster recovery plan. “If, God forbid, disaster strikes at one DISA center, we would redirect work through another with little disruption for users. Before, we were really rolling the dice.”

The Air Force will be looking to roll out more Web-based services in the coming future, such as a chat feature on its human resources portal. However, this will take time to secure and authenticate.
