AT&T lands Army personnel forecasting system work

AT&T Government Solutions Inc. won a five-year, $11.8 million contract to provide operations and maintenance support for a Web-based system for forecasting and tracking Army personnel.

The company will provide systems enhancements and repairs, analysis support and run support for the Active Army Strength Forecaster system.

AT&T Government Solutions built the human capital management system for the Army. The system consists of three integrated manpower forecasting subsystems: individuals account, enlisted grade and enlisted support.
