Personnel Management Information system of the Brazilian Air Force

In 2007, oriented by Brazilian Air Force Command, the new institutional system of personnel management information was implemented in Aerial Space Control Institute (ICEA), in Sao Jose dos Campos, Sao Paulo, Brazil. The system, called SIGPES - Personnel Management Information System, has as its purpose to centralize and integrate several subjects related to Brazilian Air Force personnel, through a centralized database and also by exchange and actualization among users, by corporative net, not only in Sao Jose dos Campos, but in the whole country. This paperwork´s purpose is to analyze the implementation and utilization of the system, its discrimination of varieties related to the prior system - decentralized - and the difficulties of the migration from the prior to the new system. It is believed that this analysis - as the presentation of defeated challenges and the system´s possible improvement points, based in Management Information Systems knowledge, as in ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) knowledge - works as a reference to other organizations that search for optimization of the management information systems´ utilization through the integration of several sectors or branch offices.
