Presented By:

Description:

Learn how you can help modernize your agency’s Permanent Change of Station (PCS) process to improve transparency, security, efficiency, and audit readiness. Many federal agencies are now using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) PCS systems as a centralized hub for managing relocations for both uniformed and civilian personnel. These systems integrate with HR and financial platforms to support timely obligations, payments, and de-obligations—giving you a more consistent, auditable, and user-friendly experience.

You’ll explore what drives successful PCS system implementation, including strong executive sponsorship, project teams with deep knowledge of PCS entitlements (FTR, JTR, DSSR), and effective communication with internal and external stakeholders. The modern PCS platform enables you to standardize and automate your processes while fostering innovation.

Agencies that have adopted this approach report real benefits—greater accuracy and security, faster payments, improved transferee satisfaction, enhanced auditability, and reduced administrative burden. You’ll walk away with practical insights to apply within your own organization.
