Soft Alliance Deploys Payroll System for FGN

The Federal Government through the Accountant General of the Federation’s Office has signed a World Bank sponsored contract with the SoftAlliance for the provision of an Integrated Personnel & Payroll Information System (IPPIS). The aim of this project is to provide a database of accurate records of Federal civil servants in order to eliminate ghost workers.

The Federal Government is very excited about this development because it expects to make huge savings when the exercise is completed. It was a competitive bid, which involved 13 local and foreign firms, to procure and implement a solution that will improve effectiveness and efficiency in government transactions, enhance confidence in payroll costs and budgeting, and also greatly improve management reporting and information. Reports have shown that the FCT is losing about N1 billion annually due to ghost workers in the FCT’s nominal payroll. This was detected after a staff audit was carried out.

SoftAlliance intends to use its wealth of experience in the implemention of Oracle HR Payroll solution which it has implemented successfully in many other public and private organizations.
