2. “INTEGRATED AUTOMATED TRAVEL SYSTEM (IATS) 8.0 RELEASE MIGRATION TO MS SQL, CAC ENABLING, AND DATA CALL/ (TRAVEL TECHNICAL MESSAGE (TTM) 21-04). From USAFMCOM:  (Last Reminder) In June 2021, IATS migrated to Microsoft (MS) SQL Server with IATS version 8.0 (current version is 8.2).  Army organizations/sites using the Sybase platform purchased by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service expires on 30 September 2022.  The MS SQL Server does not permit DFAS to purchase licenses for Army sites.  Therefore, Army sites must purchase their own platform license in order to operate IATS.  The preferred platform license product for Army sites to procure is MS SQL server.  Sites that do not procure their own platform licensing won't be able to utilize IATS after September 2022.  Please see the attached fact sheet on the IATS Migration to MS SQL Server.” https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1190422
